Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

It uses those patterns to predict how changes to DNA affect the function of its downstream products, RNA and proteins. The LLM has also written new sequences for alternative versions of molecules; in ...

DNA is the genetic code that provides the biological instructions for every living species, but not every bit of DNA helps ...

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 ...

Only around 20,000 distinct protein-coding genes were found to exist in the long lines of molecules known as base pairs that make up our DNA sequences. Geneticists were astonished to find that ...

This year’s Lasker Basic Medical Research Award recognizes the contributions of Demis Hassabis and John Jumper for their invention of the AlphaFold artificial intelligence (AI) system, which ...
