A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency ...
This is a summary of: Liu. H. et al. Viral RNA blocks circularization to evade host codon usage control. Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-09809-y (2025).
By combining Transformer-based sequence modeling with a novel conditional probability strategy, the approach overcomes ...
Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...
It has long been assumed that there is only one 'canonical' genetic code, so each word means the same thing to every organism. Now, this paradigm has been challenged by the discovery of large numbers ...
Living things, from bacteria to humans, depend on a workforce of proteins to carry out essential tasks within their cells. Proteins are chains of amino acids that are strung together according to ...
The genetic code is made up of a total of 64 base triplets or codons. At least one codon encodes the information for each of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins during translation.
