Crack open a biology textbook and you will find a standard icon of molecular biology: the table summarizing the standard genetic code. This refers to the set of rules by which the cell "decodes" the ...

Seedlessness in table grapes is a key breeding target, mainly results from stenospermocarpy, linked to the Thompson Seedless grape variety. Advances in genetic research have identified the VviAGL11 ...

Scientists have mapped the genetic composition of a marsupial mammal, the South American gray, short-tailed opossum, gaining insight into the role of "junk DNA" in human evolution and into immune ...

Researchers have reconstructed a long string of genetic code for what they believe is the common ancestor of placental mammals — a shrewlike creature that lived in Asia more than 75 million years ago.

(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated April 28, 2025) India's largest-ever genomic study has identified genetic variants unique to the country, marking a crucial ...

As wildly diverse as life on Earth is—whether it’s a jaguar hunting down a deer in the Amazon, an orchid vine spiraling around a tree in the Congo, primitive cells growing in boiling hot springs in ...

Famed geneticist and Harvard University professor George Church has launched a genetic sequencing service called Nebula Genomics — and the company is putting Church's own DNA for sale as a ...

"This outbreak highlights the ongoing capacity of viral spill-over from animals to cause severe disease in humans," the authors of the second study wrote. A mysterious intermediary species Experts ...
