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

At the core of every AI coding agent is a technology called a large language model (LLM), which is a type of neural network ...

Fulgent Genetics is rated Hold due to strong diagnostic revenue growth but an unproven transition into integrated precision medicine. FLGT's diagnostics business leads with rapid genome tests and ...

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 ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

We love a good error code here at the Escapist. That’s the most dev of dev things of all, a code appearing on the screen to tell you something has gone wrong, but ...

You get older every day. But how old are your cells and organs, really?

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
