Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated causes ...

Researchers discover that messenger RNA discarded by laboratories is the biological key to preventing essential proteins from ...

A long-overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic repetitive behaviors that define autism spectrum disorder (ASD), without affecting ...

When AlphaFold solved the protein-folding problem in 2020, it showed that artificial intelligence could crack one of biology’s deepest mysteries: how a string of amino acids folds itself into a ...

What if a single sentence could carry two completely different meanings, one when read forward and another when read backward ...

Advances in artificial intelligence-assisted protein engineering are enabling breakthroughs in protein design, but they also introduce biosecurity challenges related to potential production of harmful ...
