The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...

In a recent preprint* uploaded to the bioRxiv server, researchers developed and trained a foundational model to predict tissue-specific RNA expression, splicing, RNA binding protein specificity, and ...

RNA allows the transport and interpretation of genetic code within DNA. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries protein information from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the cell’s cytoplasm or fluid interior. RNA ...

John Mattick is a professor of RNA biology at the University of New South Wales Sydney in Australia and author of RNA, the Epicenter of Genetic Information. “Folding into origami-like shapes, it can ...

A codon, a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA and RNA that codes for a specific amino acid, acts like an “instruction manual” for protein synthesis, telling the cell which of the 20 natural amino ...
