Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein engineering.

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in Alzheimer's disease.

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Genetics have been a big topic of mass discussion ever since the first Jurassic Park movie. But that was fiction. At Hawaiʻi’s John A. Burns School of Medicine, a research team is ...
