Scientists have accurately calculated the sliding mechanism for deciphering the second genetic code written within the DNA base pair sequence.

How DNA Is Unwound So That Its Code Can Be Read Date: November 28, 2008 Source: Scripps Research Institute Summary: Researchers have figured out how a macromolecular machine is able to unwind the ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists are working to create yeast that operates with custom-made DNA. They have long been able to make specific changes in an organism's DNA. Now, they're pushing into the ...

Scientists have unveiled incredible images of how the DNA code is read and interpreted – revealing new detail about one of the fundamental processes of life.

Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

DNA gives us the list of materials that make us human. Now we need to learn how to read the instructions that tell us how they are put together.

The advent of DNA sequencing in the 1980s changed the game. Now, by reading the genetic code that makes an organism what it is, scientists could glean new insights into species’ evolutionary ...

Among both scientists and laypeople, DNA is a language, one which we “read,” “write,” and “edit.” The metaphor may distort our understanding of genetics.
