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

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

By combining large-scale experiments with deep learning, researchers built a lightweight model that deciphers how regulatory DNA controls gene activity.

Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing the deep learning ...

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 ...

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered a new genetic code that deploys a cluster of cells that attack healthy organs and overpowers the ...

A QIMR Berghofer-led international team of scientists has unlocked the genetic secrets behind why some mothers are more likely than others to conceive twins. The study, published in Human Reproduction ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Recent breakthroughs in genetics research may have uncovered new genes underlying common psychiatric disorders. Schizophrenia and ...

Researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have unlocked the most detailed genetic blueprint yet of a major soil-borne crop pathogen—an advance that paves the way for better crop ...
