Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

A new study suggests genetic changes allow horses to produce more energy, while minimizing the toll the energy takes on cells ...

This so-called "start codon" has an unusual GTG code (guanine-thymine-guanine), less commonly found in the DNA of bacteria ...

Gene therapy for cystic fibrosis is advancing fast. Explore key biotech players, clinical progress, and its potential to ...

Researchers in South Korea have proposed a novel cancer immunotherapy approach that could complement existing CAR-T (Chimeric ...

They also highlight how the recoding of a de novo stop codon – a strategy thought restricted to viruses – can facilitate adaptation in vertebrates. Long prized for their speed and endurance ...

A genetic change that boosts a cell's aerobic capacity while also protecting it from excess stress could explain how horses became such powerful athletes, according to a new study in Science.

Bioprocessing has always been a bit late in adopting the latest engineering techniques, e.g., computational fluid dynamics to ...

In horse DNA, researchers found what looked like a catastrophic error: a premature stop codon — a three-letter genetic sequence (UGA) that tells the cell’s protein-making machinery to stop translating ...
