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

Each cell has their own genetic code that helps maintain viability and directs function. This genetic code is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. DNA is the molecule that carries ...

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 ...

61 codons specify one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins 3 codons are stop codons, which signal the termination of protein synthesis Importantly, the genetic code is nearly universal, shared ...

The Y chromosome, the male relation genetic signature, has been a mystery to scientists for centuries. It’s the most repetitive and complex region of the human genome, and never before was it possible ...

Scientists developed a new nanostructure that triples CRISPR’s ability to enter cells, unlocking even more power to treat ...

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

Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...
