The EUR/USD presents a strong short‑side setup in the short term, relying on a high‑probability liquidity run into the 1.1682 ...

Did you know that over 90% of the corn grown in the United States is genetically modified? To create genetically modified foods, scientists alter the DNA of organisms using genetic engineering ...

The genetic code is both robust and redundant, yet also full of interesting anomalies. Here we explore one of these anomalies, specifically the existence of two separate boxes/classes of serine codons ...

Ever wondered about those white streaks trailing planes across the sky? Experts explain how these contrails form and what every traveler should know about their impact on our planet. If you’ve ...

This raises the question of whether dengue virus uses codons similar to that of its hosts—mosquitos and humans. This concept is called codon optimality: the effect that codon composition has on ...

Codon optimality refers to the effect that codon composition has on messenger RNA (mRNA) stability and translation level and implies that synonymous codons are not silent from a regulatory point of ...

Previously, Tuller et al. found that the first 30–50 codons of the genes of yeast and other eukaryotes are slightly enriched for rare codons. They argued that this slowed translation, and was adaptive ...

Reasoning that intrinsic codon:anticodon binding might have been a major contributor to bringing tRNA 3′-termini into proximity at an early stage of ribosomal peptide synthesis, we wondered if ...

The genetic code is made up of a total of 64 base triplets or codons. At least one codon encodes the information for each of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins during translation.
