Now researchers from The Rockefeller University have unearthed intriguing genetic evidence: a protein variant found only in humans that may have helped shape the emergence of spoken language.

A new study links a particular gene to the ancient origins of spoken language, proposing that a protein variant found only in ...

A new discovery offers hope for Huntington’s disease. This discovery provides hope that a DNA repair process may help slow or ...

This study is the first to demonstrate that certain tRNA introns influence gene expression. Scientists have discovered that ...

Yale researchers have created "Ochre," a genomically recoded organism that enables the production of synthetic proteins with ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed ...

A method for genetically barcoding Drosophila is developed and used to tag defined cell populations in vivo for single-cell transcriptomics experiments and to enable multiplexed behavioral analysis.

For the structure of the genetic code and the evidence for nonsense triplets see the papers in the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium XXXI on “The Genetic Code”, 1966 (in the press). Weigert ...
