A groundbreaking study implicates a specific gene in the evolution of human speech, highlighting its uniqueness to Homo ...

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

In a lab at Rockefeller University in New York, a mouse squeaks. But this is no ordinary squeak. It is a strange, complex ...

A new contender for a human 'language gene' can change the way that mice squeak when it is incorporated into their DNA. The gene is called NOVA1, and in our own species, it is remarkably unique. While ...

How can just four nitrogenous bases--adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil--possibly code for all 20 amino acids? Thus, early researchers quickly determined that the smallest combination of As ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were recode the genetic code of an organism, a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with ...

From understanding hereditary diseases to predicting drug responses, sequencing helps researchers uncover the subtle language ...

The effectiveness of a common drug to quit smoking could be down to people's genes, according to a study from the University ...

Ochre is a major step toward creating a non-redundant genetic code in E. coli, specifically, which is ideally suited to produce synthetic proteins containing multiple, different synthetic amino acids.

MaizeCODE is a genomic project analyzing the genetic basis of maize domestication. Researchers identified key regulatory ...
