To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

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

For disorders driven by a known genetic component, research understandably focuses on developing a drug targeting that genetic signature. When that works, the outcome benefits patients but the end ...

Scientists have discovered a microbe that bends the rules of the genetic code. This organism, Methanosarcina acetivorans, ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

The virusoid associated with rice yellow mottle virus encodes its own proteins; is it the exception that proves the rule, or the first of many more to come? It’s axiomatic in reviews of virusoids that ...

Start Codon, a life science and healthcare venture-building fund, is pleased to invite life sciences leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors from across the life science and biotech industries to attend ...

Messenger RNA serve as the instructions for making proteins. Alltrna’s focus is transfer RNA, or tRNA. These molecules play the key role ensuring that the correct amino acid—the building blocks of ...

When Daniel Fischer cofounded Tevard Biosciences in 2017, he wasn’t trying to bet on the next hot RNA technology. His interest was more personal. His daughter Natasha has Dravet syndrome, a rare form ...
