“What’s so special about the work is that the authors have captured the entire information flow of the central dogma—information storage, retrieval, and, ultimately, translation into a functional ...

One of the first things you learn in Biology 101 is that the genetic code consists of four letters: A, T, C, and G. Each represents a chemical building block of DNA, the molecule that encodes the ...

In previous attempts to expand the genetic code alphabet, researchers introduced into cells a tRNA that is linked to a non-canonical amino acid and recognizes a stop codon. 5 However, this strategy ...

Scientists are expanding the genetic code of life, using man-made DNA to create a semi-synthetic strain of bacteria — and new research shows those altered microbes actually worked to produce proteins ...
