Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

Reflecting on the technological leap that made this discovery possible, MacQuarrie noted: “We’ve spent 70 years learning to read the genetic code. Understanding this new geometric code became possible ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? "We find ...

Led by biomedical engineer Vadim Backman, the study reveals that DNA’s 3D physical structure holds a “geometric code” — a ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs ...
