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

In the past decade, there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of ...

Researchers show simpler versions of the universal genetic code can still function in protein synthesis. In addition to understanding early primordial organisms, the research could lead to ...

Evolution settled on a genetic code that uses four letters to name 20 amino acids. Synthetic biologists adding new bases to DNA will be free to improve on nature — if they can.

"The genetic code lays out exactly where a branch will occur, where the fruits will occur," he says. "It's incredibly complicated, but now we have the tools to go in there." "In there"—whether within ...

The Common Genetic Code Paul Nurse demonstrated that a strain of yeast with a defective gene could use the human version of that gene to repair itself.

Scientists have created a complete E. coli genome with an altered "genetic dictionary," a significant step toward the project of synthetic life.

A review of the recent developments in reprogramming the genetic code of cells and organisms to include non-canonical amino acids in precisely engineered proteins.

Researchers have identified a large number of areas in the human genetic code that are involved in regulating the way in which the liver functions, in a new study of over 61,000 people, published ...

Universal genetic code may not be so universal Date: July 27, 2016 Source: American Crystallographic Association (ACA) Summary: New research is casting doubt on a commonly held belief about how ...

In the 1960s Marshall W. Nirenberg deciphered the genetic code, the combination of the A, T, G and C nucleotides that specify amino acids. So why do people think that Francis Crick did it?
