Objective Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of mortality globally, necessitating early risk ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

During in vitro fertilisation (IVF), embryos undergo genetic testing before they are transferred to the uterus – but researchers have found that a widely used test cannot detect genetic abnormalities ...

Google Colab, also known as Colaboratory, is a free online tool from Google that lets you write and run Python code directly in your browser. It works like Jupyter Notebook but without the hassle of ...

We've decided to retire and archive this project - there's just no safe way to run Python within pyodide safely with reasonable latency. Instead, we're working hard on Monty which should solve the ...

The Python team at Microsoft is continuing its overhaul of environment management in Visual Studio Code, with the August 2025 release advancing the controlled rollout of the new Python Environments ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
