A team of researchers designs a ChatGPT that 'speaks in DNA', capable of creating new species that do not exist in nature and ...

MetaGraph compresses vast data archives into a search engine for scientists, opening up new frontiers of biological discovery ...

A new tool developed at ETH Zurich, MetaGraph, allows scientists to search through vast public DNA and RNA databases in seconds — like a “Google for DNA.” DNA sequencing has transformed biomedical ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

Human DNA is not always making us function in ways we understand. Some of our genome is just there, and we’re not sure what it does. In fact, 8% of our DNA are viruses our ancestors caught one day and ...

Here, biology kind of takes over. If the phage genome that the AI model generated is legit, the proteins will start to ...

New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...

Scientists at the University of Vienna, Austria, have screened great ape specimens obtained from natural history museums to identify DNA viruses. This groundbreaking study provides unique insights ...

Understanding the interaction between immune cells and cancer cells has important implications for cancer immunotherapies, ...

A tiny, four-fingered "hand" folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection and can even block viral particles from entering cells to ...

It turns out that a gene called LTR5Hs activates a gene that affects the growth of an embryo and the proliferation of stem ...

Illinois researchers developed a nanorobotic hand made of DNA that can grab viruses for detection or inhibition. In this artist’s rendering, three “NanoGripper” hands wrap around a COVID-19 virus.
