The development of genetic therapeutics for both rare and common diseases is evolving rapidly, particularly in terms of local delivery to the central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and the ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

Cells are defined by the genes they express; protein-coding genes are carefully regulated so that the correct proteins will be active at the right times and places to carry out a cell's functions.

Rule-breaking discovery: Researchers found a pond protist that reassigns all three standard genetic stop codons to amino acids, overturning a long-held view of code universality. Why it matters: The ...
