The genetic code, a universal blueprint for life, governs how DNA and RNA sequences translate into proteins. While its complexity has inspired generations of scientists, its origins remain a topic ...

When even one tiny section of a person’s genetic code becomes mutated or modified, cells can begin to act out of ...

A massive screen of bacterial and archaeal genomes revealed five previously unknown instances where an organism uses an alternate code to translate genetic blueprints into proteins. A study probes how ...

A group of scientists at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) may have the key to discovering cancers origins within the body as well as insights into new treatment strategies for Ovarian cancer.

Groundbreaking partnership brings together science, community, and industry to unlock the mysteries of feline DNA and improve ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic "marks" in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may ...

Scientists from Colossal said they rewrote the common gray wolf’s genetic code to match the dire wolf genome from preserved DNA, and used domestic dogs as surrogate mothers to birth three pups ...

This research adds to the groundwork of understanding the complex language of the gene regulatory code, and how DNA sequence patterns located close to our genes influence human development and disease ...
