A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is ...

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

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 ...

The virusoid associated with rice yellow mottle virus encodes its own proteins; is it the exception that proves the rule, or the first of many more to come? It’s axiomatic in reviews of virusoids that ...
