Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform—from bacteria to blue whales—shares the same genetic code. How and ...

Nearly all living organisms use the same genetic code, a complicated mechanism by which genetic information is translated into proteins, the building blocks of life. A new study suggests conventional ...

Almost all living things share the same genetic code, and the origin of this code has long been a topic of scientific debate.

A newly developed approach can precisely produce four-stranded β-sheets through metal–peptide coordination, report ...
