Barbara Rae-Venter never anticipated that her genealogy hobby would lead to the capture of one of California's most notorious criminals, the Golden State Killer. Her pioneering use of genetic ...

Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A key modern approach is genetic code expansion (GCE), which makes it ...

The genetic codes of plants and animals are stored in global databases, often without proper compensation to the countries where they originated. A potential solution will be discussed at Cop16.

The research suggested that marijuana use can impact the genetic code responsible for activating and deactivating various genes.

Working on a remote island, scientists think they can use genetic engineering to block a malaria-carrying species of mosquito from spreading the disease — and do it in just a few months. But ...
