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

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...

Protein synthesis is made up of two stages: transcription and translation. Transcription and translation are the processes that turn the instructions found in genes into the proteins they encode.

We’ve heard of GMOs, but this is ridiculous. Scientists at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology say they’ve engineered a bacteria whose genetic code is more efficient than ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...

We have gone further than ever before in creating life that is unlike anything that has evolved naturally. The genome of an Escherichia coli bacterium has been redesigned on a computer to use just 57 ...

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

The rise of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens has spurred scientists to search far and wide for new drugs. And while many antimicrobial molecules have been discovered in recent years, it’s rare to ...

Abstract: Although deep learning-based detection technology has significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of fault diagnosis, its development is limited by the differences in sample ...
