Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make ...

We've seen AI algorithms create mostly-believable pictures of people's headshots, works of art, news articles, and even pokémon. But now a team of scientists is taking things a step further, with an ...

Researchers have identified and visualized the signaling pathways in protein-RNA complexes that help set the genetic code in all organisms. The genetic code allows information stored in DNA to be ...

[Kory] has been writing genetic algorithms for a few months now. This in itself isn’t anything unique or exceptional, except for what he’s getting these genetic algorithms to do. [Kory] has been using ...

A Stanford-led study published in Nature on Feb. 26 found that age-related changes witnessed in diseases like Alzheimer’s may be related to a relatively untapped area of research in the brain. The ...

DNA -- the long, thin molecule that carries our hereditary material -- is compressed around protein scaffolding in the cell nucleus into tiny spheres called nucleosomes. The bead-like nucleosomes are ...

Engineered viruses are the delivery vehicle of choice for many genetic medicines, but they pose several problems. In addition to the risk of dangerous immune responses, these viruses don’t go to all ...

The person behind this is Mark Temple, a microbiologist in Sydney, Australia. MARK TEMPLE: I'm both a musician and a scientist. So I thought, I'm well-placed here to actually approach this from a ...
