A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

The new prime editors are about as efficient as their predecessors but make up to 60-fold fewer ‘indel’ mistakes.

University researchers uncovered that dipeptides, basic protein building blocks, played a central role in shaping the genetic code. By analyzing billions of sequences across species, they found ...

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus. From protozoa to human beings, all have the same basic biological mechanism for building, maintaining, and propagating their form of life: a ...

In about one out of every 800 people, two chromosomes fuse together to form an unusual bond. These are known as Robertsonian chromosomes. It's a mystery that has long stumped scientists.

Multi-omics integration enhances understanding of biological systems, revealing complex interactions through spatial ...

Scientists used artificial intelligence to write coherent viral genomes, using them to synthesize bacteriophages capable of ...

Scientists analyze 4.3 billion dipeptides across species to trace genetic code evolution and early protein development.

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function.

It's no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers ...
