An archaeon reads the same codon in two different ways, overturning a doctrine that has stood for 60 years. Living organisms ...

October meeting with the FDA confirm the agency doesn't see the data collected so far as enough to support an approval filing ...

Scientists trace Leonardo da Vinci's DNA through his descendants and family tombs to reconstruct his genetic code.

Bionano Laboratories, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) offering CLIA-certified laboratory developed tests (LDTs) based on optical genome mapping (OGM), announced ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

DeepSeek’s announced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) model compresses text-heavy data into images and reduces vision tokens per image by up to 20x while retaining 97% accuracy (10x compression) or ...

Growth charts for children with rare genetic disorders - giving healthcare professionals and families clearer guidance on how a child is developing - have been created by an international team, led by ...

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...

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 ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...

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.
