A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

A team of biochemists has discovered in bacteria a protein capable of building DNA without following known genetic ...

Scientists from the Earlham Institute accidentally discovered a single-celled microorganism that violates one of the ...

Researchers at the Earlham Institute have identified a microscopic ciliate species that rewrites two of biology’s genetic stop signals to code for amino acids instead. The finding, made during a ...

Most hypotheses suggest that earlier forms of life had partial genetic codes and used fewer than 20 amino acids. To test ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way ...

DNA stores our genetic code. What if it could also be integrated with electronics to store and read other information?

Scientists have sequenced DNA from one of humans' closest relatives, the Neanderthal. Guests examine what that prehistoric genetic code might tell us about how these early hominids lived, and why they ...
