How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Protein barcodes are short, information- rich stretches of amino acids encoded by DNA sequences that can be added to the DNA sequences coding for proteins. Then, when protein barcode DNA and protein ...

Researchers at the Biotechnology Center (BIOTEC) of the Technical University of Dresden have developed a Large Language Model (LLM) with Grover that has been trained with human genetic code. The model ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...

Epigenome editing has followed a similar path, in that more recent technological breakthroughs have enabled scientists to apply the discoveries made in previous decades. Epigenome editing performs a ...

From viruses to humans, life makes microproteins that have evaded discovery until now. By Carl Zimmer You could be forgiven for assuming that scientists know how many kinds of proteins exist. After ...

Vast swathes of the human genome remain a mystery to science. A new AI from Google DeepMind is helping researchers understand how these stretches of DNA impact the activity of other genes. While the ...
