The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...

In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology ...

Irregularities in the body's genetic coding to make proteins are linked to cancerous tumors. But most genetic material contains elements whose function isn't clear. Could abnormalities in non-coding ...

Approximately one in five adults with spontaneous coronary artery dissection with high-risk features had an increased burden of rare genetic variants on whole-exome sequencing, suggesting testing may ...

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...

When proteins are produced in cells based on the "genetic code" of codons, there is a precise process under which molecules called transfer RNA (tRNA) bind to specific amino acids and then transport ...

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform—from bacteria to blue whales—shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific controversy.

Fulgent Genetics is rated Hold due to strong diagnostic revenue growth but an unproven transition into integrated precision ...

Lefties, take note: We know a little more about the genetic basis for your dominant hand. Researchers have identified a rare genetic variant coding for a protein that may be partially responsible for ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...
