Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The work has been ...

Genetic mutations in human DNA can prevent proteins that perform important functions in the body from being formed correctly. This can lead to serious disorders that cause disease or even disability.

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

Google DeepMind, the artificial intelligence subsidiary of Alphabet, has made another leap in its efforts to illuminate human biology: progress toward using AI to interpret the many still-mysterious c ...

Whether you’re interested in why a living system works as it does or the reasons it goes awry, proteins are a critical part of the molecular picture. The proteins circulating in a person’s plasma can ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

Johan Strömqvist, PhD, has always been interested in “seeing” molecules, particularly in three dimensions (3D). Strömqvist worked with optical single-molecule imaging for his PhD and then founded a ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

UT researchers have developed the first viable alternative to a 75-year-old method for sequencing proteins. Image of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Scientists at The University of Texas ...
