A review of the recent developments in reprogramming the genetic code of cells and organisms to include non-canonical amino acids in precisely engineered proteins.

The team studied Rhodotorula toruloides, a red yeast used to produce substances called oleochemicals. Scientists use a ...

Researchers have identified a large number of areas in the human genetic code that are involved in regulating the way in which the liver functions, in a new study of over 61,000 people, published ...

Researchers show simpler versions of the universal genetic code can still function in protein synthesis. In addition to understanding early primordial organisms, the research could lead to ...

The new system developed by Professor Chad Mirkin delivers CRISPR machinery more safely and effectively into cells.

The team at the Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology calls their creation Syn57. It is a synthetic ...

Han Xiao's research pioneers genetic reprogramming using noncanonical amino acids to control cellular functions and enzyme activities in vivo.

Evolution settled on a genetic code that uses four letters to name 20 amino acids. Synthetic biologists adding new bases to DNA will be free to improve on nature — if they can.

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

The genetic code is the universal set of rules that defines how DNA and RNA sequences are translated into proteins, enabling the accurate synthesis of essential biomolecules in all living organisms.
