DNA is a biological molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to function, develop, and reproduce. It is present in all forms of life on earth and contains each organism’s genetic code ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine learning model called AlphaGenome that can predict the function of DNA ...

DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...
