Led by biomedical engineer Vadim Backman, the study reveals that DNA’s 3D physical structure holds a “geometric code” — a ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these sequences, we could unlock how cells and organisms fundamentally work. Now, research from Northwestern Engineering ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers have created the first comprehensive genetic resource to identify people at ...

Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs ...

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein fragments called dipeptides. By analyzing billions of dipeptide sequences ...

The Fast-Twitch Gene You Didn't Know You Had Your DNA might be giving you an edge or could be holding you back. The ACTN3 ...

In 1812, hundreds of thousands of men in Napoleon's army perished during their retreat from Russia. Researchers now believe a ...
