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

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding for diverse biological applications, such as proteins that form the building ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

The human genome is chock full of what scientists once considered "junk DNA." This DNA is actually something called transposable elements, or TEs. These are repetitive sequences found in the genome ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
