How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

From viruses to humans, life makes microproteins that have evaded discovery until now. By Carl Zimmer You could be forgiven for assuming that scientists know how many kinds of proteins exist. After ...

Protein barcodes are short, information- rich stretches of amino acids encoded by DNA sequences that can be added to the DNA sequences coding for proteins. Then, when protein barcode DNA and protein ...
