Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

A new technology elucidated yesterday in the journal Nature has the potential to be a leap forward in DNA synthesis, allowing ...

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

Model predicts effect of mutations on sequences up to 1 million base pairs in length and is adept at tackling complex ...

Illumina, which specializes in DNA sequencing, will work on samples representing 1,300 species in the San Diego Zoo Wildlife ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

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 ...
