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

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

This study offers important insight into the pathogenic basis of intragenic frameshift deletions in the carboxy-terminal domain of MECP2, which account for some Rett syndrome cases, yet similar ...

The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that's added to a chain of amino acids ...

Researchers uncovered a microbe that treats one stop codon as both a termination signal and an amino-acid instruction, revealing surprising genetic flexibility that may inspire new ways to influence ...

Scientists expanded our understanding of proteins within mitochondria, cells’ powerhouses. A new technique identified ~400 ...

Clinically meaningful lung function activity, measured by ppFEV1 and LCI2.5, with follow-up through 1 year at dose selected for Phase 2 Durable CFTR transgene expression within target therapeutic ...

CpG density and epigenetic modification state modulate DNA mechanics, altering its intrinsic compatibility with nucleosome formation.

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are being investigated in human clinical trials as treatments for angina, claudication, and stroke. We designed a molecule structurally unrelated to all FGFs, which ...
