Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

The number of people living with dementia worldwide was estimated at 57 million in 2021 with nearly 10 million new cases recorded each year. In the U.S., dementia impacts more than 6 million lives, ...

Sequencing has filled global archives with vast DNA and RNA reads, but finding signals in that noise has remained out of reach. ETH Zurich’s MetaGraph turns raw sequences into a compressed, full-text ...

Abstract: Despite the wide variety of applications and use cases that can be solved with the help of machine learning algorithms, researchers have yet to develop a general artificial intelligence ...

A pilot program in six states will use a tactic employed by private insurers that has been heavily criticized for delaying and denying medical care. By Reed Abelson and Teddy Rosenbluth Like millions ...

Scientists have created Syn57, a completely synthetic bacterium with a genetic code unlike anything in nature. Unlike all known life, which uses 64 codons to build proteins, Syn57 only uses 57 — ...

GARRETSON, S.D. (KELO) — July 25 is the awareness day for a very rare syndrome, but one that a local child has. Carter Dreckman is a 3-year-old from Garretson, SD. “He’s a very typical three and a ...

Like its counterparts in the EU and UK, Australia’s digital regulator is beginning to formalize its online safety codes. The eSafety Commissioner has registered the first round of codes, accounting ...

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...
