Nearly all living organisms use the same genetic code, a complicated mechanism by which genetic information is translated into proteins, the building blocks of life. A new study suggests conventional ...
"The genetic code is an amazing system in which sequences of three nucleotides, known as codons, in a string of DNA or RNA are translated into protein sequences using 20 different amino acids ...
A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA transcription into RNA – the first step of the process by which an organism's ...
