Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover ...

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

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 ...

The work, described in a preprint paper, has the potential to create new treatments and accelerate research into artificially ...

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

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