Arrow worms, or chaetognaths, are strange ocean predators that have puzzled scientists for more than a century. They have ...

For example, one of the cornerstones of conventional views of genetic code evolution rests on the famous Urey-Miller experiment of 1952, which attempted to simulate the conditions on early Earth ...

A new artificial intelligence algorithm can create full human genomes. Find out why scientists aren't sure how useful this genetic code is.

Autosomal DNA tests can be helpful for diagnosing particular genetic diseases or predispositions for diseases. A genetic disease involves a particular mutation or sequence in your genetic code.

Snifflers of the world rejoice: Scientists are one step closer to finding effective treatments for the common cold now that researchers have deciphered the genetic code of the ubiquitous virus ...

Researchers have turned the coronavirus genetic code into music. It may inspire a new way for scientists to study the virus, but it's also a reminder that the components of SARS-CoV-2 can be ...

Life’s genetic code is based on sequences of nucleotide bases read as three-letter “words.” A new study suggests that a code based on four-letter words is biophysically possible but poses ...
