A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

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 of ...

Around 45 percent of human DNA is made up of transposable elements, or TEs—genetic leftovers from now-extinct viruses that scientists once believed to be “junk DNA.” But that view is changing, and a ...

For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level.

In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Recent breakthroughs in genetics research may have uncovered new genes underlying common psychiatric disorders. Schizophrenia and ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This chart was used in the National ...

Researchers develop a groundbreaking genomic mapping to reveal how genes interact to cause diseases, paving the way for ...

Imagine if you could fix a spelling mistake in a long document with just one click. Now, imagine doing the same with the genetic code of a plant or even a human cell. That’s ...
