Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make ...

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 ...

In an unprecedented leap in scientific discovery, a new lifeform has been constructed using a mere 57 genetic instructions.

Scientists have developed the world's most detailed gene map of the human retina, providing new insights which will help future research to prevent and treat blindness. Australian scientists have led ...

A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has revealed a new genetic code that acts like a cancer ringleader, recruiting and deploying a gang of tumor cells to incite a ...

Influential inventions often combine existing tools in new ways. The iPhone, for instance, amalgamated the telephone, web browser and camera, among many other devices. The same is now possible in gene ...
