With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

A new study has deciphered the mechanical code of DNA to reveal previously unknown ways in which nature encodes biological information in DNA sequence. Led by Durham University, UK, an international ...

Scientists have long known that human genes spring into action through instructions delivered by the precise order of our DNA, directed by the four different types of individual links, or "bases," ...

Darwin's theory of evolution should be expanded to include consideration of a DNA stability 'energy code' -- so-called 'molecular Darwinism' -- to further account for the long-term survival of species ...

In 1970, biochemist Robert Wells of the University of Alabama at Birmingham saw something strange in his X-ray images of a new synthetic DNA polymer. The DNA molecule was composed of the traditional ...

What better way to celebrate DNA Day than to get up close and personal with the four letter code with trillion dollar potential? And a startup that may have a key to unlock it. “Elegen is going to ...

In a world flooded with data, figuring out where and how to store it efficiently and inexpensively becomes a larger problem every day. One of the most exotic solutions might turn out to be one of the ...

Scientists can now sequence an entire genome overnight. This technology has been the key tool in identifying and tracking Covid variants. Unlocking the Covid Code By Jon Gertner Edward Holmes was in ...
