A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...
A central tenet of biology may need updating given new measurements of start codons. For decades, scientists working with genetic material have labored with a few basic rules in mind. To start, DNA is ...
Cells working with an expanded genetic code could make more diverse medicines. A new study shows scientists are within striking distance. One of modern biologists' most ambitious goals is to learn how ...
The choice of codons can influence local translation kinetics during protein synthesis. Whether codon preference is linked to cotranslational regulation of polypeptide folding remains unclear. Here, ...
Scientists have discovered a microbe that bends the rules of the genetic code. This organism, Methanosarcina acetivorans, ...
LONDON, 13th August, 2025 (WAM) -- British scientists have developed a new strain of Escherichia coli with a genetically recoded genome. According to researchers from the Medical Research Council ...
LA JOLLA, CA—One of modern biologists’ most ambitious goals is to learn how to expand or otherwise modify the genetic code of life on Earth, in order to make new, artificial life forms. Part of the ...
