A DNA sequence code critical to our understanding of how human genes are turned on and off has just been unlocked by a team of scientists. Molecular biologists refer to this code as the “human ...
Scientists have long thought of DNA as an instruction manual written in the four- chemical bases—A, C, T, and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these ...
Just like the mechanical components in cars or computers, the molecules inside a cell can sometimes malfunction. When this happens during DNA replication, the result is an unpredictable change in the ...
In the not-so-distant past, I published a mini-series of four “Logic 101” articles encompassing Assertion-Level Logic, Positive-vs-Negative Logic, Reed-Muller Logic, and Gray Codes. More recently, a ...
Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...
A team of UK researchers has publicly released the first sequence coverage of the wheat genome. The release is a step towards a fully annotated genome and makes a significant contribution to efforts ...
For more than 50 years, the RNA remained hidden in a lymph node that had been snipped out of a 38-year-old man in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That nub of tissue, the size of a ...
