The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

An AI-driven computational toolkit, Gcoupler, integrates ligand design, statistical modeling, and graph neural networks to predict endogenous metabolites that allosterically modulate the GPCR–Gα ...

Landlords could no longer rely on rent-pricing software to quietly track each other's moves and push rents higher using confidential data, under a settlement between RealPage Inc. and federal ...

After decades of intense focus on genetics, the biomedical research community is undergoing a major shift, focusing on a new framework called "exposomics." Similar to the way scientists work to map ...
