Although DNA is tightly packed and protected within the cell nucleus, it is constantly threatened by damage from normal ...

Scientists at Google DeepMind —the company’s artificial intelligence research arm—say they’ve created an A.I. tool that can ...

A new AI model by Google DeepMind can decipher DNA and predict mutations, opening new doors for disease research.

Artificial intelligence has crossed a new threshold in biology, helping design viruses that can seek out and kill drug resistant bacteria such as dangerous strains of E. coli. Instead of discovering ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

On a foggy Saturday morning in 1953, a tall, skinny 24-year-old man fiddled with shapes he had cut out of cardboard. They represented fragments of a DNA molecule, and young James Watson was trying to ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Abstract: This paper presents constructions of DNA codes that satisfy biological and combinatorial constraints for DNA-based data storage systems. We introduce an algorithm that generates DNA blocks ...
