The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

We've heard of GMOs, but this is ridiculous. Scientists at the Medical Research Council's Laboratory of Molecular Biology say they've engineered a bacteria whose genetic code is more efficient than ...

Creating life is something that scientists have been able to do for a while now. In 2010, a team of researchers was able to make the first-ever synthetic bacteria. It was a massive undertaking, and ...

Combining MAGE with CAGE allowed the genome to manipulated as an editable and evolvable template. Scientists have combined a recently developed technique known as multiplex automated genome ...

The same amino acid can be encoded by anywhere from one to six different strings of letters in the genetic code. Andrzej Wojcicki/Science Photo Library via Getty Images Nearly all life, from bacteria ...

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 ...

61 codons specify one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins 3 codons are stop codons, which signal the termination of protein synthesis Importantly, the genetic code is nearly universal, shared ...
