Fulgent Genetics is rated Hold due to strong diagnostic revenue growth but an unproven transition into integrated precision ...

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

UC Berkeley scientists discovered that a microbe can interpret the UAG stop codon in two ways, producing different proteins based on environmental cues. This breaks a long-held biological rule that ...

Pyrrolysine is an important component of methyltransferase enzymes, which the archaea use to metabolize methylamine in the environment. “The need for that metabolism and availability of the machinery ...

The same amino acid can be encoded by anywhere from one to six different strings of letters in the genetic code. Andrzej Wojcicki/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Nearly all life, from bacteria ...

The DNA inside of living organisms is packed with information, so much so that it's hard to search genetic databases, but ...

All living things on Earth use a version of the same genetic code. Every cell makes proteins using the same 20 amino acids. Ribosomes, the protein-making machinery within cells, read the genetic code ...

Your genetic code is not as logical as it could be. What if we could rewrite our genetic code, and make it more efficient, ...

In the largest screen to date for alternative genetic codes, a computer program named Codetta scanned more than 250,000 genome sequences from bacteria and archaea to identify five never-before-seen ...

Scientists at the Reidy Faculty of Medical Sciences, led by Associate Professor of the College of Pharmacy, head of the study Dr. Kaarina Kovalets, studied whether the genetic risk of depression can ...
