The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear ...

While it is widely accepted that damage to the genetic material (DNA), which accumulates with age, is at the root of ageing, the link between the two phenomena remains unclear. DNA molecules contain ...

The genetic code that dictates how genetic information is translated into specific proteins is less rigid than scientists have long assumed, according to research published today (November 9) in eLife ...

Attempts to explain behavior genetically face two major problems: the application of the concept of genetic coding and the theoretical possibility of decomposing behavior. This paper argues that using ...

Genetic code isn't much different. In this episode, we see what happens if code gets deleted, put in the wrong place, or switched with other code.

Thus, one mutation that alters genomic structure can end up influencing the expression of many other unmutated genes. The findings have been reported in Cell Genomics. There is familial aspect to ...

A tiny tweak in the genetic code sets us apart from our ancient cousins, the Neanderthals and Denisovans. When scientists inserted this human variant into mice, the animals began to vocalize ...
