Scientists discovered a creature that breaks a fundamental rule of biology

A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

Scientists say this creature doesn’t follow the most basic biology relies on

For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is ...

Ambiguous Stop Codons Expand the Genetic Code in Archaea

The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that's added to a chain of amino acids ...
