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

India, Feb. 1 -- A research team at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has developed a novel live-attenuated vaccine candidate,cb1, capable of generating broad immunity ...

Leveraging its integrated "design-synthesis-quality control" system, Creative Biolabs is overcoming bottlenecks in mRNA ...

A research team at the LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed), has developed a novel live-attenuated ...

The cb1 vaccine platform demonstrates a single, intranasally administered vaccine can confer wide-ranging immunity that may ...

While codons (combinations of three nucleotides) may vary in which do what functions, a long-standing rule was that each codon serves one specific purpose. New evidence, however suggests that ...

Researchers uncovered a microbe that treats one stop codon as both a termination signal and an amino-acid instruction, revealing surprising genetic flexibility that may inspire new ways to influence ...

The Reverse Translate tool is a professional bioinformatics application designed to back-translate protein sequences into optimized nucleotide sequences. While the natural biological flow (Central ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
