The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

India’s new labour codes, consolidating 29 complex central laws into four streamlined codes, represent a landmark reform in labour laws that govern the largest working population in the world. India's ...

The newly described microbe represents a world of parasitic, intercellular biodiversity only beginning to be revealed by ...

India is bracing for a major shift in employee compensation as the newly implemented labour codes introduce a unified definition of wages—an overhaul that experts say will strengthen retirement ...

The government on Friday notified new gratuity rules under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 a move that could widen retirement benefits for fixed-term employees and alter how “wages” are defined for ...

SEATTLE and NEW YORK – Genetic counselors are now able to bill for more of the time spent on providing services to patients with the adoption earlier this year of a new Current Procedural Terminology ...

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?

Abstract: This paper proposes a genetic optimization method for the construction of non-binary quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (NB-QC-LDPC) codes with short block lengths. In our scheme, the ...

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...

Scientists in the UK have rewritten one of life’s oldest operating systems. They have built a bacterium that functions with a stripped-down genetic code, eliminating seven of the 64 instructions used ...

We’ve heard of GMOs, but this is ridiculous. Scientists at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology say they’ve engineered a bacteria whose genetic code is more efficient than ...
