Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein engineering.

When a ribosome cruises along messenger RNA (mRNA), it may stall at a particular codon, depending on which codons are nearby. In other words, codon context can influence the efficiency with which mRNA ...

A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency ...

61 codons specify one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins 3 codons are stop codons, which signal the termination of protein synthesis Importantly, the genetic code is nearly universal, shared ...

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 ...

Cells working with an expanded genetic code could make more diverse medicines. A new study shows scientists are within striking distance. One of modern biologists' most ambitious goals is to learn how ...

By combining Transformer-based sequence modeling with a novel conditional probability strategy, the approach overcomes ...

A study conducted by researchers at Ohio State University and the New York University Grossman School of Medicine in the USA, has revealed that optimization of codon for bacterial expression causes ...

CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Start Codon, a new strategic initiative aimed at driving the translation of world-class research into commercially successful companies, has been founded and ...
