A wave of AI foundation models built on plant DNA sequences is giving researchers new tools to annotate genomes, predict gene ...

Understanding how genes are switched on and off in specific cell types remains one of biology's central challenges. While AI ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all without editing or altering the cell’s genome. The system, published in Nature ...

Phylogenetic analysis and DNA sequence representation are foundational pillars in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. These approaches not only facilitate the reconstruction of evolutionary ...

New research has discovered that the molecular machines responsible for copying our DNA have a surprising hidden talent—an ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...

While tools like CRISPR have blown the field of genome hacking wide open, being able to predict what will happen when you tinker with the code underlying the living things on our planet is still ...

The human genome is chock full of what scientists once considered "junk DNA." This DNA is actually something called transposable elements, or TEs. These are repetitive sequences found in the genome ...

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...
