DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi—microorganisms that—if actually present in tumor tissues—could influence how they ...

The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be recalling some other arrangement of amino-acids. A recent examination of protein ...

Google has announced plans to deploy AI tools to prevent the extinction of endangered species of animals by preserving their ...

Caption main figure: The rigid base-pair model is forced, using 28 constraints (indicated by red spheres), into a lefthanded superhelical path that mimics the DNA conformation in the nucleosome.

Researchers reckon it could dramatically accelerate understanding of how DNA influences disease, cancer, and drug discovery.
