The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing the deep learning ...

By combining large-scale experiments with deep learning, researchers built a lightweight model that deciphers how regulatory DNA controls gene activity.

A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has revealed a new genetic code that acts like a cancer ringleader, recruiting and deploying a gang of tumor cells to incite a ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...
