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.

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than ...

A cure for genetic heart conditions could reach trials in only 5 years, and it “rewrites” DNA. Experts explain the potential ...

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 ...

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 ...
