Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

MyHeritage becomes the first major DNA testing company to fully adopt Whole Genome Sequencing; the upgrade leverages technology by Ultima Genomics and processing at the Gene by Gene lab MyHeritage, ...

Growth charts for children with rare genetic disorders - giving healthcare professionals and families clearer guidance on how a child is developing - have been created by an international team, led by ...

More than 15,000 women a year who have breast cancer in the UK would benefit from tests that analyse DNA for changes or mutations, a study has suggested. Having a patient’s entire genetic readout ...

Nobel laureate Har Gobind Khorana's groundbreaking work on the genetic code, deciphering how DNA sequences translate to proteins, laid the foundation for modern molecular biology. His research, ...

A new study, published in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights into the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint for ...

The United States leads in genetics-related output in the Nature Index, with six institutions ranking among the world’s top 10. Leading by a clear margin is Harvard University, in Cambridge, ...

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein fragments called dipeptides. By analyzing billions of dipeptide sequences ...

URBANA, Ill. – Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way ...

Don’t ever underestimate the power of DNA on your beating heart, as it can be the root cause of heart failure. Dr. Travis Hinson, a cardiologist at UConn School of Medicine is trying to fix that.

Scientists have created Syn57, a completely synthetic bacterium with a genetic code unlike anything in nature. Unlike all known life, which uses 64 codons to build proteins, Syn57 only uses 57 — ...

The code of life is simple. Four genetic letters arranged in triplets—called codons—encode amino acids. These are the building blocks of proteins, the machinery that powers life. But the genetic code ...
