A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

Scientists have discovered a microbe that bends the rules of the genetic code. This organism, Methanosarcina acetivorans, ...

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

Gene editing can repair mutations that prematurely halt protein synthesis, resulting in incomplete peptides that cause various diseases. However, other approaches achieve the same effect without ...

The virusoid associated with rice yellow mottle virus encodes its own proteins; is it the exception that proves the rule, or the first of many more to come? It’s axiomatic in reviews of virusoids that ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...
