DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi – microorganisms that, if actually present in tumor tissues, could influence how ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

By simplifying the engineering process and expanding what can be built, the Golden Gate method greatly broadens the possibilities for scientists working to develop bacteriophages as tools to combat ...

Two U.S. senators this week introduced a bill that would create new rules around the sale of synthetic gene sequences that ...

Google DeepMind, the artificial intelligence subsidiary of Alphabet, has made another leap in its efforts to illuminate human ...

DNA storage technology from Arizona State University researchers packs 1000x more data than hard drives in microscopic space, ...

DeepMind’s AlphaGenome AI model could help solve the problem of predicting how variations in noncoding DNA shape gene ...

Abstract: The continually increasing volume of DNA sequence data has resulted in a growing demand for fast implementations of core algorithms. Computation of pairwise alignments between candidate ...
