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 it is? Subscribe ...

A study that analyzed the genetic code of a quarter of a million U.S. volunteers found more than 275 million entirely new variants that may help explain why some groups are more prone to disease than ...

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 ...

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A group of scientists at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) may have the key to discovering cancer’s origins within the body, as well as insights into new treatment ...

Mikhail Karasikov and his colleagues at ETH Zurich worked on MetaGraph, a search engine designed for genomic databases containing massive troves of DNA and RNA sequences.

People often compare the genome to a computer's program, with the cell using its genetic code to process environmental inputs ...
