All living things on Earth use a version of the same genetic code. Every cell makes proteins using the same 20 amino acids. Ribosomes, the protein-making machinery within cells, read the genetic ...

Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A ...

Learn about genetics concepts through the e-book 'Genetic Odyssey - Genetics Concepts Through Comics' created by scientists at BHU. Available in multiple languages for school children in Grade 9-12.

Over the course of five years, Johnson and her team mapped and described nearly 26,600 genes comprising the entirety of the koala’s genetic code, or genome (by comparison, humans have somewhere ...

Our group has shown that nucleic acids can be used as ligands to program the spacing and symmetry of nanoparticle building blocks into structurally sophisticated materials. These nucleic acids ...

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform—from bacteria to blue whales—shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific controversy.

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 ImagesNearly all life, from ...
