A pond microbe at Oxford breaks the genetic code, reading two stop signals as amino acids
A single-celled organism scooped from an artificial pond in Oxford University Parks reads the stop signals UAA and UAG as two ...
Scientists accidentally discovered a microscopic organism with a genetic code that breaks a rule researchers thought was ...
The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that’s added to a chain of amino acids ...

Scientists report smallest-ever archaeal genome: Cell encodes fewer proteins than many viruses
Smallest archaeal genome ever recorded: Sukunaarchaeum mirabile, found in Pacific Ocean plankton, encodes only 189 proteins -- fewer than many viruses -- but retains its own ribosomes, qualifying it ...
On October 9, 2026, a Japanese research team announced their study of the previously unknown Sukuna archaea. While ...

Mapping the 'social network' of proteins in the cell to understand how genes shape living things
One of biology's fundamental questions is how our genes shape who we are. Adrian Serohijos and Stephen Michnick, professors ...
The common wisdom is that each gene codes for one protein. Someone studying whether a patient has a mutation or version of a gene that contributes to their disease will therefore look for mutations ...
As far as research subjects go, it's not always easy to find common ground with a single-celled bacterium. Yet the more Paul Wiggins studies his model bacteria, Acinetobacter baylyi, the more he sees ...
