Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

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

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 ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity in ways that keep us healthy—or cause disease. Exactly how this DNA shapes ...

Learn how increased protein diversity in signaling genes may have helped drive the shift from invertebrates to vertebrates, ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Physical forces from gravity, muscle contraction, and more have strong impacts on how the cells in our bodies behave. For ...

One of the biggest hurdles in developing an HIV vaccine is coaxing the body to produce the right kind of immune cells and antibodies. In most vaccines, HIV proteins are attached to a larger protein ...
