A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

I recently attended the Aug. 26 city council meeting on the Code Analysis Project, and I left feeling genuinely optimistic about Flagstaff’s future. It was clear from the presentation that city staff ...

Here is the letter from ethics watchdog Sir Laurie Magnus to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in full, detailing his investigation into Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner: “Dear Prime Minister, ...

Scientists have created Syn57, a completely synthetic bacterium with a genetic code unlike anything in nature. Unlike all known life, which uses 64 codons to build proteins, Syn57 only uses 57 — ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution.

Today’s GOP fancies itself the party of Christian manliness. Don’t make me laugh; more like the king's wobbly footstool. In the ancient world, ideally, kings were shepherds who dispensed justice to ...

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.
