With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...

Shanghai scientists have made breakthrough in protein design by leveraging artificial intelligence, establishing the world's ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

Synthetic biology is the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and the re-design of existing, natural biological systems for useful purposes. On-demand drug ...

Synthetic biology holds much promise for the life sciences sector as it continues to look for new ways of treating disease and accelerating drug development, says Debiopharm's Tanja Dowe.

A differentiable variant of the Gillespie algorithm enables gradient-based optimization for stochastic chemical kinetics, facilitating efficient parameter estimation and the design of biochemical ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems.
