Gene editing can repair mutations that prematurely halt protein synthesis, resulting in incomplete peptides that cause various diseases. However, other approaches achieve the same effect without ...
A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...
Alltrna has raised another $109 million in a series B to fund the Flagship Pioneering biotech's mission to "stop codon disease" with potential benefits for a range of genetic diseases caused by ...
(Reuters) -BridgeBio Pharma said on Tuesday it will stop development of its experimental therapy for a genetic disease that affects the adrenaline-producing gland. The drugmaker said the results of ...
It has long been assumed that there is only one 'canonical' genetic code, so each word means the same thing to every organism. Now, this paradigm has been challenged by the discovery of large numbers ...
Scientists have discovered a microbe that bends the rules of the genetic code. This organism, Methanosarcina acetivorans, ...
A surprising number of microbes use alternate genetic codes, different from the standard genetic code that governs the large majority of life. A census of these "recoded" genomes was recently reported ...
A messenger RNA (mRNA) does more than provide ribosomes a template for creating a sequence of amino acids. It also conveys regulatory information, including so-called stop codons. But just as cars ...
The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that's added to a chain of amino acids ...
