Biologists have used machine learning, a type of AI, to identify 'synthetic extreme' DNA sequences with specifically designed functions in gene activation. They tested 50 million DNA sequences and ...

New research suggests DNA may not need activation, challenging a long-held idea about how life began and reshaping ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have measured the precise force required to open Piezo1, a protein that allows cells to sense mechanical stress, at approximately 15 piconewtons.

Most of our genome is often written off as “junk DNA”, meaning it doesn’t encode for genes that get made into proteins. This so-called junk consists of accumulated DNA elements like viral DNA that got ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown ...

New research from a team of genome scientists and DNA damage response experts breaks new ground in understanding the function of a protein currently limited in clinical trials for cancer treatments.

“[...] the biological mechanisms linking aging and osteoarthritis prevalence remain largely unknown.” “In this study, we use irradiation as an acute model of ...

(Nanowerk News) Artificial intelligence has exploded across our news feeds, with ChatGPT and related AI technologies becoming the focus of broad public scrutiny. Beyond popular chatbots, biologists ...
