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 ...

Researchers at Stanford Medicine discovered that bacteria can perform DNA inversions within single genes, altering their genetic coding. This finding challenges traditional genetic understanding and ...

It has long been accepted that a gene's protein-coding information is contained in only one of its two DNA strands. But in 22 February Nature, Victor Corces and co-workers at the Department of Biology ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

A team of scientists from Centre for Systems and Synthetic Biology (CSSB) headed by Dr Pawan K Dhar has commenced doing research on making proteins from non-coding DNA. The objective of this research ...

EVERYTHING ON Earth is made of atoms, most of which are closely packed together in the form of minerals. Life has its uses for minerals—ask a coral reef—but its essence lies in atoms arranged as ...

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 ...

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 ...
