In the future, every delicious bite on your table may hold the genetic codes of these "black technologies." At the Yujiawu International Seed Industry Technology Park in Tongzhou District, a ...

Abstract: DNA storage stands out from other storage media due to its high capacity, eco-friendliness, long lifespan, high stability, low energy consumption, and low data maintenance costs. To ...

Scientists begin to pinpoint what’s in food besides fats, carbs and protein - We consume the chemicals in food every day, but ...

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 — ...

Scientists in the UK have rewritten one of life’s oldest operating systems. They have built a bacterium that functions with a stripped-down genetic code, eliminating seven of the 64 instructions used ...

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.

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

We have all heard of messenger RNA (mRNA) by now, but what about transfer RNA (tRNA)? Well, there is a growing awareness that this emerging technology is capable of a myriad of biological functions ...

23andMe has gone bankrupt. If it is tempting to treat this failure as just another Silicon Valley experiment gone bad, do not be fooled. This bankruptcy provides an essential opportunity for digital ...

The pending economic failure of a company built on customers retracing their genetic pasts could pose a future security nightmare for those who lose control over what happens to their genomes. The ...

A Belgian research team used deep learning models to study how genetic switches control brain cell types across species. Their findings reveal both conserved and divergent regulatory codes between ...
