Tiny protein pair discovery could reveal how the genetic code first began

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

'Junk DNA' no more: Investigators develop method of identifying cancers from repeat elements of genetic code

Repeats of DNA sequences, often referred to as "junk DNA" or "dark matter," that are found in chromosomes and could contribute to cancer or other diseases have been challenging to identify and ...

The Genetic Code: Nature's Blueprint for Life

This circular diagram represents the genetic code, showing how the four nucleotide bases of RNA (adenine [A], cytosine [C], guanine [G], and uracil [U]) form codons that specify amino acids. Each ...

These archaea built a distinct genetic code to put pyrrolysine in proteins

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 ...

MetaGraph is like Google for DNA, just more compressed and jam-packed with genomic data

In context: Thanks to improvements in DNA sequencing techniques, the number of public repositories containing genetic data is growing at a significant pace. Zurich researchers have been working on a ...
