The National Institutes of Health failed to protect brain scans that an international group of fringe researchers used to ...

Your genetic code is not as logical as it could be. What if we could rewrite our genetic code, and make it more efficient, sensical and organized? Join Hank and dive deep into genetics in this fun ...

Researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have unlocked the most detailed genetic blueprint yet of a major ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

The dictionary of life has a new update. A DNA sequence that signals cells in almost all other organisms to stop synthesising proteins instead encodes a rare amino acid in some archaea, according to a ...

Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations. If you make a purchase through our links, we may earn a commission. Deals and coupons were accurate at the time of publication ...

While codons (combinations of three nucleotides) may vary in which do what functions, a long-standing rule was that each codon serves one specific purpose. New evidence, however suggests that ...

Fulgent Genetics is rated Hold due to strong diagnostic revenue growth but an unproven transition into integrated precision medicine. FLGT's diagnostics business leads with rapid genome tests and ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

Discover how scientists are harnessing the power of CRISPR to precisely edit DNA, revolutionizing medicine and ethics as they rewrite the very code of life. Pixabay, PublicDomainPictures CRISPR ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...
