Clues to the genetic code’s origin may be hidden in tiny protein fragments, revealing a synchronized and highly structured ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have made an important advance toward understanding—and potentially ...

Your genetic code is not as logical as it could be. What if we could rewrite our genetic code, and make it more efficient, sensical and organized? Join Hank and dive deep into genetics in this fun ...

A new technique could lead to the big break that investigators need in the Nancy Guthrie case. New DNA methods using rootless ...

The genome has thousands of genes that code for proteins, which help carry out many of the cell's important functions. But ...

In a time when what defines gender is being questioned and discussed, a new study reveals that single changes in DNA make dramatic differences.

Cross-species research shows that RNA splicing patterns, not just gene activity, track maximum lifespan in mammals, revealing a new axis of longevity control.

Our genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units - or codons - specify one of many amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Multiple ...

Tracking how blood cancers develop over time has uncovered important genetic differences between patients whose disease stays ...

New fluorescent dyes allow scientists to watch cancer activity inside living cells in real time, opening new possibilities ...
