While DNA sequencing is routine, determining protein sequences remains one of biology’s toughest challenges, says ...

A DNA sequence is a specific lineup of chemical base pairs along its strand. The part of DNA that determines what protein to produce and when, is called a gene. First established in 1985 by Sir ...

A new set of artificial intelligence models could make protein sequencing even more powerful for better understanding cell biology and diseases.

the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a 20-DNA-letter long sequence that matches part of the guide RNA sequence.

Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process necessary for life itself. Using a sophisticated imaging technique that ...

Researchers harness the power of the world’s most advanced supercomputers to simulate the inner workings of cellular ...

But they always leave a record of the change in the genetic sequence. Because almost everything that makes or uses DNA also makes DNA repair proteins, it's possible to rewind the evolutionary ...

LA JOLLA, CA—DNA repair proteins act like the body’s editors ... the enzyme searches for small matching sequences called “microhomologies” on broken strands. Once a matching sequence ...

They are useful for studying membrane dynamics, protein interactions ... are folded by means of specifically designed shorter DNA sequences, so-called staples. The team of Liu used DNA origami ...
