MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to ...

Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful ...

61 codons specify one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins 3 codons are stop codons, which signal the termination of protein synthesis Importantly, the genetic code is nearly universal, shared ...

While testing a new way to sequence genes, researchers stumbled upon a very rare divergence in the genetic code, which translates genetic sequences into proteins. The discovery was made in an organism ...

Dengue is the most prevalent mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Globally, about half of the world’s population is now at risk of dengue with an estimated 100–400 million infections occurring ...

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 ...

A central tenet of biology may need updating given new measurements of start codons. For decades, scientists working with genetic material have labored with a few basic rules in mind. To start, DNA is ...

Conditional survival nomogram after an R0 resection for gastric cancer. Background: Recently, c-kit exon 11 deletions, including codons 557 and/or 558, have been reported to predict a worse prognosis ...

Research led by Duke University, Durham, has discovered a situation-dependent traffic jam in mRNA translation caused by RNA hairpins leading to higher translation of upstream start codons (uAUGs). In ...

The genetic code — the rules by which codons are translated into amino acid sequences — is almost universally conserved across all domains of life, although a minority of species are now known to use ...
