More than 20 years after scientists first released a draft sequence of the human genome, the book of life has been given a long-overdue rewrite. A more accurate and inclusive edition of our genetic ...

Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein engineering.

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 ...

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 ...

Yekaterina "Kate" Shulgina was a first year student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, looking for a short computational biology project so she could check the requirement off her program in ...

WATER, BEYOND WHAT’S NEEDED FOR DRINKING AND BATHING. WHILE LAST MONTH’S STORMS GAVE US THE SUPPLIES FOR THIS CHANGE, STATE LEADERS WARN THE DROUGHT IS FAR FROM OVER, AND THEY URGE PEOPLE TO KEEP ...
