Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most known CRISPR systems target invading pathogens' DNA and chop it up to ...

A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as ...

Curious how the Caesar Cipher works? This Python tutorial breaks it down in a simple, beginner-friendly way. Learn how to ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...

What scientists long believed were knots in DNA may actually be persistent twists formed during nanopore analysis, revealing an overlooked mechanism with major implications.

Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, which must be synthesized, deployed, and removed with ...

The cells in living organisms are constantly making proteins. Ribosomes, the RNA-protein complexes that make other proteins, ...

This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...

The brain’s chatter has always been partly out of reach, with electrical spikes easy to record but the chemical whispers between neurons largely hidden. Now an engineered protein that lights up in ...

What he really wanted was to spend Thanksgiving with his family. What he got was three days with the turkey.
