Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that ...

The genetic code is the basis for life, but in order for an organism to live and survive, it needs the proteins that the genome codes for. We know about certain common features that can be found in ...

Cross-species research shows that RNA splicing patterns, not just gene activity, track maximum lifespan in mammals, revealing ...

Today, thousands of databases with biological data are publicly available. They include data on gene and protein sequences and detailed measurements of different cellular parameters, such as the exact ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

Students model how scientists use DNA microarrays to determine levels of gene expression in breast cancer patients, and then choose treatments based on what they learn. Normal-functioning DNA codes ...
