Scientists are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that strongly influences how people and ...

Watch as DNA becomes protein in the process of protein synthesis.

During translation, which is the second major step in gene expression, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins ...

Scientists sought to work out genetic errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s original genome and used less genetic material.

The recoded bacterium uses only 57 of the 64 possible genetic codes, freeing up seven to be used for different purposes ...

The complete DNA code for yeast, called its genome, contains about 12 million letters. An international scientific team aims to add, delete or alter about a million of the DNA letters.

The synthetic bacteria contain a shorter genetic code with 57 codons rather than 64, freeing up space for further edits that might lead to new drugs or virus-resistant microbes ...

Rather than focusing only on protein structure, the new tool goes straight to the source code—DNA. Just a tenth of a percent of missense mutations in human DNA have been mapped using classic lab ...

Researchers show how a DNA-binding protein can search the entire genome for its target sequence without getting held up on the way. The result contradicts our current understanding of gene ...

Here's what researchers found Both studies found that a small missing piece of DNA code located next to the Rho GTPase-activating protein (ARHGAP36) resulted in orange fur coloration.
