A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

Alternative genetic decoding can be either a global phenomenon that affects the decoding of most or all mRNAs, or a local recoding that affects particular sites in a few mRNAs. Global alterations in ...

It has been observed for several proteins that slowing down the rate at which individual codons are translated can increase their probability of cotranslational protein folding, while speeding up ...

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 ...

Researchers have unveiled genome-engineering technologies capable of fundamentally re-engineering genomes from the nucleotide to the megabase scale. Treating the chromosome as both an editable and an ...
