Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

Researchers uncovered a microbe that treats one stop codon as both a termination signal and an amino-acid instruction, revealing surprising genetic flexibility that may inspire new ways to influence ...

The DNA results additionally rule out the possibility that Hitler had a Jewish grandfather via his grandmother, who was rumored to have got pregnant by an employer in whose house she worked. "Analysis ...

Cellular machines build each protein according to the instructions within a genetic sequence that begins at a "start codon" and ends at a "stop codon." However, some genetic sequences contain more ...

(CNN) — The neurologic disease called chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE has most often been found in people who experienced repeated blows to the head while playing contact sports and there’s ...
