In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists and colleagues discuss phenomics, exposomics, and the factors that influence DNA ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

There are many molecules with therapeutic potential, but it can be a challenge to deliver them to the right places at the ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard ...

Nov. 7, 2024 — Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome ...

UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

The CRISPR-Cas9 system offers groundbreaking genome editing capabilities, yet off-target cleavage raises concerns about ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

Markita Landry is the first to admit that the two applications her research addresses – imaging brain chemistry and delivering genetic material into plants – are rather divergent.

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed ...
