WTOP’s Matt Kaufax takes an even deeper dive into the Smithsonian Natural History Museum’s “Ocean Library” through DNA collection.
A QIMR Berghofer-led international team of scientists has unlocked the genetic secrets behind why some mothers are more likely than others to conceive twins. The study, published in Human Reproduction ...
Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered a new genetic code that deploys a cluster of cells that attack healthy organs and overpowers the ...

An ancient fossil breaks nature’s secret life code
Scientists have long believed that a universal genetic code serves as a blueprint for all life on Earth, dictating the structure and function of organisms from the simplest bacteria to complex humans.
The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...
In this AI-generated illustration of Earth at the dawn of life, a distant volcano towers over shallow pools of water. It is possible the earliest life forms evolved in such environments. Credit: ...
A Stanford-led study published in Nature on Feb. 26 found that age-related changes witnessed in diseases like Alzheimer’s may be related to a relatively untapped area of research in the brain. The ...
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 ...
A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein fragments called dipeptides. By analyzing billions of dipeptide sequences ...
URBANA, Ill. – Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way ...
