An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

Your genetic code is not as logical as it could be. What if we could rewrite our genetic code, and make it more efficient, ...

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 ...

Figure 3. Docking of ADNP_Glu931Glyfs12 to the PTB protein. (A) The results of docking ADNP_Glu931Glyfs12 (light orange) to the PTB protein (PDB code 3DXC, navy blue) in the 934-941 amino acid region ...

Researchers have discovered that mice possess a natural form of gene therapy, a non-coding RNA that can sidestep genetic mutations. They were able to engineer a programmable version that recognized ...
