Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., April 1, 2021--In support of a major collaborative project to store massive amounts of data in DNA molecules, a Los Alamos National Laboratory-led team has developed a key enabling ...
The genetic code that dictates how genetic information is translated into specific proteins is less rigid than scientists have long assumed, according to research published today (November 9) in eLife ...
DNA is admired for its perfection as a programmable information molecule: it uses repeating polymerization chemistry to link four nucleotide building blocks (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine) ...
