Scientists have discovered a microbe that bends the rules of the genetic code. This organism, Methanosarcina acetivorans, ...
A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...
Why does stopping at a red light become automatic? New neuroscience shows how the cerebellum turns visual cues into fast, ...
For over six decades, biologists have relied on a fundamental rule: every three-letter codon in the DNA code corresponds to one specific amino acid or signals the end of protein production. But a ...

We have gone further than ever before in creating life that is unlike anything that has evolved naturally. The genome of an Escherichia coli bacterium has been redesigned on a computer to use just 57 ...
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 ...
The E.P.A. under Trump is moving to eliminate credits to carmakers for the fuel-saving start-stop function. By Ben Blatt Would you be willing to pay more for gas if your car could be a little less ...
