Scientists have identified a microbe capable of interpreting a single piece of genetic code in two completely different ways.

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

Rare diseases, defined by FDA as “a disease or condition that affects less than 200,000 people in the United States” (1), may ...

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

This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...

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 ...

In the damp understory of forests in Taiwan, mainland Japan, and Okinawa, a plant called Balanophora can fool you at first ...

Discover why zoology is referred to as the 'Scribe of Species.' Discover the various job pathways available to zoologists in ...

A research team has developed DeepCodon, a deep learning–based codon optimization tool that significantly improves heterologous protein expression in Escherichia coli while preserving functionally ...

This study offers important insight into the pathogenic basis of intragenic frameshift deletions in the carboxy-terminal domain of MECP2, which account for some Rett syndrome cases, yet similar ...
