The team at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology calls their creation Syn57. It is a synthetic ...

Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

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

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a ...

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

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study ...

The non-coding genome, once referred to as "junk DNA," is now understood to be a fundamental regulator of gene expression and ...

Scientists have found that non-coding 'junk' DNA, far from being harmless and inert, could potentially contribute to the development of cancer.

When a gene is transcribed from DNA, it often contains many parts that must be removed, or spliced out of the gene sequence. Once the cellular machinery does that, the resulting mRNA molecule can be ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. Explore new technology used in the St. Jude-led discovery.

DNA coding theory bridges the disciplines of mathematics, computer science and molecular biology by applying advanced algebraic and combinatorial techniques to the design of nucleotide sequences.

Meditation can powerfully influence our internal chemistry.
