Scientists have long believed they understood how life’s genetic code evolved, but new research upends that assumption. By ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 ...

These phylogenetic or evolutionary trees are traditionally built by comparing DNA or protein sequences and counting the similarities and differences to infer relationships. “In a phylogeny ...

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These ...

bringing the simulated performance closer to that of a motor protein. The engineered motor, with redesigned DNA/RNA sequences and a 3.8-fold increase in hybridization rate, achieved a speed of 30 ...
