Cells manufacture proteins by following instructions encoded in messenger RNA, which is read in three-letter groups called ...

A study finds tRNA genes are mutation hotspots that alter protein synthesis, leading to proteome instability, contributing to ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic causes of diabetes in infants, pointing to a region of the genome that has long been ...

The genome has thousands of genes that code for proteins, which help carry out many of the cell's important functions. But ...

A study shows that changes in noncoding genes can trigger autoimmune diabetes in infants by affecting hundreds of ...

Humans have about 3 billion DNA bases in their genetic makeup. However, most of it does not encode for protein.

With the help of a technique called Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling (MPRP), Shira Weingarten-Gabbay and colleagues identified more than 4000 open reading frames (ORFs) across 679 ...

Scientists at the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) report that inactivating a certain protein-coding gene promotes liver tissue regeneration in mammals. "This ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...
