A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is ...

Living organisms synthesize a staggering variety of proteins by combining 20 amino acids into chains of any length and order. In the past, to expand protein diversity beyond the scope of these 20 ...

Alltrna has raised another $109 million in a series B to fund the Flagship Pioneering biotech's mission to "stop codon disease" with potential benefits for a range of genetic diseases caused by ...

The history of biomarker development for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies for patients with colorectal cancer has been a convoluted path. Each development has provided ...

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 universal genetic code is made up of several codons or triplet bases. The standard code has evolved over time to minimize coding errors. There are a total of 64 codons in the genetic code arising ...
