It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

What scientists once dismissed as “junk” DNA may actually be some of the most powerful code in our genome. A new ...

When environmental stress harms DNA, it can set off a cascade of failures linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration, and ...

Historically, scientists called this part of the genome “junk DNA.” But there’s growing recognition these so-called “non-coding” regions play a critical role in regulating the expression of genes ...

Tool aims to solve the mystery of non-coding sequences — but is still in its infancy.

Professor Matt Lerner, PhD joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about neurodiversity. What are some signs of autism? What did people with autism do in the past? What does reading ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules that are not translated into protein products. Different classes of non-coding RNAs participate in different cellular processes; for ...

Screening mRNA delivery and expression The general approach involves designing protein barcodes, which are genetically encoded short amino acid sequences that can be added to protein-coding DNA.
