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

Genetic rule breaker: A newly identified protist replaces two standard stop codons with amino acids, defying one of biology’s most consistent systems. Accidental discovery: Researchers found the ...

Genetic activity underlies biological functions, so organisms have to make sure that the right genes are expressed at the ...

In a shallow pond at Oxford University Parks, surrounded by dog walkers and rowing crews, a single-celled organism has been ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

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

A study by IRB Barcelona reveals that transfer RNA (tRNA) genes accumulate mutations at a frequency up to nine times higher than average.    These mutations specifically target the region that "reads" ...

Cells manufacture proteins by following instructions encoded in messenger RNA, which is read in three-letter groups called codons. To translate this message, the cell uses molecules called transfer ...

Interim clinical results for the BB-301 Phase 1b/2a study include 12-month post-treatment follow-up results for the first four Cohort 1 ...

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

Interim clinical results for the BB-301 Phase 1b/2a study include 12-month post-treatment follow-up results for the first four Cohort 1 completers, 24-month post-treatment follow-up results for the ...

Improved analysis adds several microproteins to the human proteome, and suggests a path toward identifying thousands more ...
