DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional structures, according to a new study. DNA can mimic protein functions by folding into elaborate, three-dimensional ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...

An illustration shows a strand of engineered DNA passing through a nanoscale sensor, where its physical structure can be decoded as digital information. DNA nanostructures could one day serve as ultra ...

DNA is the blueprint for life, influencing everything about us—including our health. We know that our genes, the genetic “words” that encode proteins, play a major role in health and disease. But the ...

DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes. Among them, DNA–histone cross-links (DHCs) occur frequently within ...

Generalist Biological AI Models Decode the Language of Life Biology has always been an information science at heart. DNA stores ...
