The synthetic bacteria contain a shorter genetic code with 57 codons rather than 64, freeing up space for further edits that ...

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 ...

A bombshell report revealed a bacteria whose genetic code is said to be more efficient than any other lifeform on earth.

The genetic code, a universal blueprint for life, governs how DNA and RNA sequences translate into proteins. While its complexity has inspired generations of scientists, its origins remain a topic ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ...

New research links an ancient DNA sequence to neuron growth, brain-cell balance, and a cognitive flexibility trait that may ...
