Recent scientific breakthroughs have transformed the once-dismissed non-coding DNA, or “junk DNA,” into a targeted weapon ...

Scientists have long believed that a universal genetic code serves as a blueprint for all life on Earth, dictating the structure and function of organisms from the simplest bacteria to complex humans.

Cannabis use may leave lasting fingerprints on the human body, a study of over 1,000 adults published in 2023 suggests – not ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these sequences, we could unlock how cells and organisms fundamentally work. Now, research from Northwestern Engineering ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

Johns Hopkins engineers have developed gel strips that change shape when given chemical instructions written in DNA code. These "gel automata," measuring just centimeters, can grow or shrink, ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs ...

Overview of the DNA Palette encoding scheme: (a) Raw data: Brain MRI data. (b) Illustration of the DNA Palette encoding process: The DNA Palette code establishes a bijection between binary sequences ...

Scientists have marveled at the ingenuity of the DNA code since it was first deciphered in the early sixties, but now it appears that there is much more to it than previously known. A research team at ...
