The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be ...

New scientific theory based on ancient proteins suggests that genes did not arise as we believed and that life could have started elsewhere.

The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...

Each cell has their own genetic code that helps maintain viability and directs function. This genetic code is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. DNA is the molecule that carries ...
