Once considered cellular junk, non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in everything from brain development to cancer — ...

A new study offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. A new study led by Rice University's Peter Wolynes offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. The research ...

Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

Scientists explored mRNA and protein public databases to unravel hidden meanings of the genetic code. Using a metric derived from mRNA codon composition, they found out how gene sequence choice can ...

A new study led by Rice University’s Peter Wolynes offers new insights into the evolution of foldable proteins. The research was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Today, thousands of databases with biological data are publicly available. They include data on gene and protein sequences and detailed measurements of different cellular parameters, such as the exact ...
