Newly developed artificial intelligence (AI) programs accurately predicted the role of DNA's regulatory elements and three-dimensional (3D) structure based solely on its raw sequence, according to ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Could DNA be glycosylated? A new study published in Engineering explores this intriguing question, suggesting that DNA might undergo glycosylation, a process that could revolutionize our understanding ...

DNA-encoded library (DEL) screening has become a standard tool in small-molecule drug discovery. Yet, even as its adoption ...
