Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

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 ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers analyzed 10,000 to reveal how variants shape gene activity.
