In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a ...

Researchers have come one step closer to unlocking the potential of synthetic DNA, which could help scientists develop never-before-seen proteins in the lab. The genetic alphabet contains just four ...

EVERYTHING ON Earth is made of atoms, most of which are closely packed together in the form of minerals. Life has its uses for minerals—ask a coral reef—but its essence lies in atoms arranged as ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. The study reveals a unique viral mechanism: a molecular ring anchors the viral copying machine ...

“Our lab is generally interested in discovering and characterizing previously unknown or poorly understood factors that are essential for genome maintenance. This is particularly important in the ...

Scientists look at the base pairs that compose the "rungs" of the DNA ladder to determine a genome's sequence. The success of E. coli bacteria depends on their ability to multiply very rapidly by ...
