In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across the entire tree of life, Evo 2 can identify patterns in gene sequences across ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction ...

Functional analysis of the LEM-3 protein and the roles of its domains using the C. elegans model. (A) Evidence shows that LEM-3 accumulates at DNA bridges remaining between daughter cells during the ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...
