An archaeon reads the same codon in two different ways, overturning a doctrine that has stood for 60 years. Living organisms ...
New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...
The new knowledge could lead to the use by CBI of renewable microbes and plant cells from poplar trees and switchgrass (two non-edible plants that grow fast) for demonstrating the scaled-up industrial ...
On a foggy Saturday morning in 1953, a tall, skinny 24-year-old man fiddled with shapes he had cut out of cardboard. They represented fragments of a DNA molecule, and young James Watson was trying to ...

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?
Nahda Nabiilah is a writer and editor from Indonesia. She has always loved writing and playing games, so one day she decided to combine the two. Most of the time, writing gaming guides is a blast for ...
Your ACTN3 gene doesn’t guarantee power, but it helps explain it. Whether you carry the RARE Variant or not, fast-twitch muscle is trainable. Lift heavy, move violently, and express the speed written ...
Every cancer carries a unique genetic fingerprint: variations in DNA known as “somatic variants” that occur in tumor DNA but are absent from the patient’s healthy cells. While some cancers may also ...
A groundbreaking study has revealed that your mom and dad’s DNA don’t just pass on telomere length, they actively reshape it in the first days of life, influencing how we age and our risk of ...
The puzzle seems impossible: take a three-billion-letter code and predict what happens if you swap a single letter. The code we’re talking about—the human genome—stores most of its instructions in ...
