Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 36 (September 7, 2021), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) Minimally evolved codes are constructed here; these have ...

The so-called central dogma of molecular biology states the process for turning genetic information into proteins that cells can use. “DNA makes RNA,” the dogma says, “and RNA makes protein.” Each ...

For the structure of the genetic code and the evidence for nonsense triplets see the papers in the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium XXXI on “The Genetic Code”, 1966 (in the press). Weigert, M. G., Lanka, ...

Philologist of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University proposed to present the genetic code as a language with its alphabet, grammar, and lexicon. His model is based on the importance of the context: ...

NEW YORK – Scientists are working to create yeast that operates with custom-made DNA. They have long been able to make specific changes in an organism's DNA. Now, they're pushing into the more radical ...

Serine? So last century. Valine? Over it. Glycine? You’ve got to be kidding me. Those chemicals are part of the 20 amino acids that are typically incorporated into proteins. That means they have a ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

The colour of our eyes or the straightness of our hair is linked to our DNA, but the development of Alzheimer's disease isn't exclusively linked to genetics, suggest recently published findings. In ...

As wildly diverse as life on Earth is—whether it’s a jaguar hunting down a deer in the Amazon, an orchid vine spiraling around a tree in the Congo, primitive cells growing in boiling hot springs in ...

My previous post looked at the first human gene ever discovered. In this entry, we’ll look at the other major aspect of genetics, DNA. DNA encodes information, and despite the splendiferous diversity ...
