Worms, flies, and yeast live longer if the fidelity of their protein-making machinery is improved, a study shows.

Aminoacyl tRNA synthetases picked up new protein domains that participate in vasculature formation around the same time that organisms evolved key adaptations in the circulatory system.

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, which help translate the genetic code into protein, also function in angiogenesis, fat metabolism, and more.

An analysis of human cancer genome projects uncovers a counterintuitive loss of ribosomal gene copies.

Researchers build a microfluidics system to create proteins without living cells.

Scientists build a specialized ribosome with linked subunits that can translate designer transcripts in bacteria.

Scientists discover a broad spectrum of alternatively spliced human protein variants within a well-studied family of genes.
