An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...

The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) is set to distribute rice seeds that have been tested with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to local farmers, the latest measure in the government’s ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
