The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...

After a spinal cord injury, cells in the brain and spinal cord change to cope with stress and repair tissue. A new study from ...

The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that's added to a chain of amino acids ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases—a task once thought too ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...

Research links variations in the gene GRIN2A to a higher risk of developing schizophrenia and other forms of mental illness.

After a spinal cord injury, cells in the brain and spinal cord change to cope with stress and repair tissue. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, shows that this ...

Boston startup Bystro AI believes the mail-in genetic tests used by millions to trace their ancestry could also help people ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial ...
