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 ...

The team studied Rhodotorula toruloides, a red yeast used to produce substances called oleochemicals. Scientists use a ...

The new system developed by Professor Chad Mirkin delivers CRISPR machinery more safely and effectively into cells.

This circular diagram represents the genetic code, showing how the four nucleotide bases of RNA (adenine [A], cytosine [C], guanine [G], and uracil [U]) form codons that specify amino acids. Each ...

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

Here, we present new biophysical models of gene expression that enable engineers to rationally design and optimize genetic systems with desired functionalities, using statistical thermodynamics, ...

The genetic code of a rare form of kidney cancer, called reninoma, has been studied for the first time. In the new paper, published today (25th September) in Nature Communications, researchers at the ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...
