Proteins are built from smaller units called amino acids, which are specified by three-nucleotide mRNA sequences called codons. Each codon represents a particular amino acid, and each codon is ...

Direct mRNA sequence mapping with mass spectrometry is a novel workflow for rapidly fragmenting and assessing mRNA. Download this ebook from Thermo Fisher Scientific to learn about mRNA therapeutics ...

By delivering mRNA encoding the correct protein sequence into cells, it is possible to restore the production of functional proteins and alleviate disease symptoms. This approach has shown promise in ...

Gene therapy for some diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), can be tricky because the needed gene is often ...

Like humans and other complex multicellular organisms, single-celled bacteria can fall ill and fight off viral infections. A ...

Then, a ribosome, the cellular machine that follows the instructions in genetic code to build a protein, locates the coding sequence within the mRNA by scanning for the start codon, a sequence of ...

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Craig S. Smith, Eye on AI host and former NYT writer, covers AI. Coronaviruses owe their name to the crown-like protein projections on ...
