The Quest to Sequence the Genomes of Everything
Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus. From protozoa to human beings, all have the same basic biological ...
DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...

DNA sequence once overlooked as ‘junk’ found to drive human chromosome fusions
Leonardo Gomes de Lima, Ph.D., a postdoctoral associate in the Gerton Lab, led the research. The findings show how these chromosome fusions form, why they remain stable, and how repetitive DNA, once ...
By making the world's microbial DNA easier to explore, a new sequence alignment tool, LexicMap, lets scientists search for a ...
While tools like CRISPR have blown the field of genome hacking wide open, being able to predict what will happen when you tinker with the code underlying the living things on our planet is still ...
A groundbreaking study has revealed that your mom and dad’s DNA don’t just pass on telomere length, they actively reshape it ...
Microsoft’s red-team used open-source AI to rewrite 72 controlled proteins, generating 70k+ toxin sequences. DNA screens ...
An analysis of the bones and teeth of ancient mammoths (Mammuthus) has identified some of the microorganisms that lived in the animals’ mouths and bodies more than one million years ago. The study, ...
