Origins of the code: University of Illinois researchers found that the genetic code’s origins are tied to dipeptide composition, offering clues to life’s earliest evolution. Beyond coding DNA: Most ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

New CRISPR paradigm: HKUST scientists created a DNA-guided Cas12a system that targets RNA, reversing the traditional RNA-guided DNA model. Practical advantages: The DNA guides are more stable, cheaper ...

Scientists at Stanford University have discovered that DRT3, a unique defense system found in bacteria, creates DNA to ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method is a powerful strategy for identifying intricate ...

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, known to be the cause of various degenerative diseases. However, the connection between aging and RNA has remained largely ...
