A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...
Genetic activity underlies biological functions, so organisms have to make sure that the right genes are expressed at the ...
Scientists from the Earlham Institute accidentally discovered a single-celled microorganism that violates one of the ...
Genetic rule breaker: A newly identified protist replaces two standard stop codons with amino acids, defying one of biology’s most consistent systems. Accidental discovery: Researchers found the ...

A bizarre genetic code found in a microscopic pond organism is rewriting what scientists thought DNA could do
In a shallow pond at Oxford University Parks, surrounded by dog walkers and rowing crews, a single-celled organism has been ...
Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...
Open reading frames (ORFs) are parts of a reading frame that contain no stop codons. A reading frame is a sequence of nucleotide triplets that are read as codons specifying amino acids; a single ...
Introns and exons are nucleotide sequences within a gene. Introns are removed by RNA splicing as RNA matures, meaning that they are not expressed in the final messenger RNA (mRNA) product, while exons ...
