In the largest screen to date for alternative genetic codes, a computer program named Codetta scanned more than 250,000 genome sequences from bacteria and archaea to identify five never-before-seen ...

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease. This breakthrough, detailed in a new ...

Yekaterina "Kate" Shulgina was a first year student in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, looking for a short computational biology project so she could check the requirement off her program in ...

Scientists have created Syn57, a completely synthetic bacterium with a genetic code unlike anything in nature. Unlike all known life, which uses 64 codons to build proteins, Syn57 only uses 57 — ...

(Program not available for streaming.) What will it mean when most of us can afford to have the information in our DNA—all six billion chemical letters of it—read, stored and available for analysis?

Genetic programming (GP) represents a class of evolutionary algorithms that automates the creation of computer programmes to solve complex problems. Coupled with symbolic regression (SR), which aims ...

A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has revealed a new genetic code that acts like a cancer ringleader, recruiting and deploying a gang of tumor cells to incite a ...

DNA consists of a code language comprising four letters which make up what are known as codons, or words, each three letters long. Interpreting the language of the genetic code was the work of ...

Inherited heart conditions affect about one in 250 people worldwide. Over the years, researchers have made a number of scientific advancements, offering hope for identifying and eventually curing ...
