Scientists have created Syn57, a completely synthetic bacterium with a genetic code unlike anything in nature. Unlike all ...

Scientists sought to work out genetic errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s original genome and used less genetic material.

CHICAGO, Feb 19 (Reuters) - A study that analyzed the genetic code of a quarter of a million U.S. volunteers found more than 275 million entirely new variants that may help explain why some groups are ...

May 10 (UPI) --Scientists have revealed a draft update to the human genetic code, using a collection of DNA from 47 genetically diverse individuals to understand what makes us human, but different at ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...
