The Synthesis of "bioinformatics"

A look at phylogenetic trees, the diagrams that map the evolutionary history of life, and their growing importance in science and medicine.

Explore biology, the natural science that studies life and living organisms, from molecular processes to entire ecosystems. Discover its impact.

Discover what biotech is, why this innovative field is booming, and how biotechnology startups are changing medicine, agriculture, and our daily lives.

Discover the genome, the complete set of DNA instructions for building and maintaining an organism. Learn why this biological blueprint is so important.

Discover DNA, the molecule that holds the genetic instructions for every living thing. Learn about its structure, function, and modern impact.

Explore genetics, the study of genes and heredity. Understand how traits are passed down and why this field is revolutionizing medicine and our lives.

An introduction to biochemistry, the science that explores the chemical processes of life and its vital role in medicine, nutrition, and technology.

Discover the genetic code, the set of rules used by cells to translate genetic information into proteins. Learn how it defines life as we know it.

Discover nucleic acids, the essential macromolecules like DNA and RNA that store genetic information and direct all cellular activities in living organisms.

Discover cladistics, the scientific method for classifying organisms based on shared ancestry and mapping the evolutionary 'family trees' of life.
