In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigate the genetic associations and heritability between categorical and dimensional bipolar disorder (BD) models. Study: ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The same amino acid can be encoded by anywhere from one to six different strings of letters in the genetic code. Andrzej ...

This circular diagram represents the genetic code, showing how the four nucleotide bases of RNA (adenine [A], cytosine [C], guanine [G], and uracil [U]) form codons that specify amino acids. Each ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

A potentially life-changing heart condition, dilated cardiomyopathy, can be caused by the cumulative influence of hundreds or thousands of genes and not just by a single “aberrant” genetic variant, as ...
