In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

Christine Dunham is a leading expert on the ribosome—an elaborate macro-molecular machine that operates like a factory within ...

INSTALL results showed successful and safe non-viral insertion of large genetic payloads in the livers of mice when delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). In contrast, mice experienced fatal immune ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

A custom NGS panel covering 27 IARC carcinogenic HPV genotypes enabled detection of ccfHPV DNA across treatment strata and ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

A recent study by Fred Hutch biochemist Christopher Lapointe, PhD, and his colleagues, uses innovative lab techniques to ...

Professor Chao Zhang's team at Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University, has developed a novel DNA nanomachine-based drug delivery and release strategy aimed at overcoming chemoresistance in ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...
