Chemist Han Xiao's research focuses on reprogramming the genetic code to manipulate biological systems with precision, utilizing noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) that possess diverse properties.

One of the unknowns, Dr. Billia explains, is that, while there may be a genetic predisposition to developing heart disease, it's not clear whether improved lifestyle at an early age can prevent ...

The lecture will be given by Prof Jason Chin (University of Cambridge). It will take place at 16:00 at last for approximately one hour. Registration is not necessary, but parking at the venue is very ...

All organisms with few exceptions use 20 standard amino acids to build proteins. Xiao's research aims to reprogram the genetic code to precisely manipulate biological systems by using noncanonical ...

Now, bioengineers at Stanford and other universities have developed a sort of programmable genetic code that allows them to preferentially activate or deactivate genes in living cells. The work is ...

They have rewritten the genetic code of an organism, opening up unprecedented possibilities for medicine and industry. This advancement, published in Nature, describes the creation of a genomically ...

According to a recent article in Nature, CRISPR allows scientists to edit genes in everything from bacteria to human embryos and holds the potential to eradicate inherited genetic diseases and even ...

The food you eat does more than just fuel your body-it might also “speak” to your genes. Emerging science in nutrigenomics suggests that food can influence how our genetic blueprint operates ...
