Scientists have long believed they understood how life’s genetic code evolved, but new research upends that assumption. By ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

Girolline, a compound extracted from the sea sponge Pseudaxinyssa cantharella, has been investigated for possible antitumor effects and also found to have anti-malarial effects. Now, researchers have ...
