Scientists have long believed that a universal genetic code serves as a blueprint for all life on Earth, dictating the structure and function of organisms from the simplest bacteria to complex humans.

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

A team of scientists has developed a highly accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The test reads tiny DNA patterns that reveal the biological signature of the illness. For millions who’ve ...

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Genetics have been a big topic of mass discussion ever since the first Jurassic Park movie. But that was fiction. At Hawaiʻi’s John A. Burns School of Medicine, a research team is ...

We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

Lefties, take note: We know a little more about the genetic basis for your dominant hand. Researchers have identified a rare genetic variant coding for a protein that may be partially responsible for ...

Bill Gates's comments on genetics as "code" have reignited debate over genetic engineering, intellectual property, and the ...
