Here, biology kind of takes over. If the phage genome that the AI model generated is legit, the proteins will start to ...

A team of researchers designs a ChatGPT that 'speaks in DNA', capable of creating new species that do not exist in nature and ...

Human DNA in its natural state inside cells (left) compared to eight hours after being infected with HSV-1 (right). The virus compacts the human genome’s size significantly and moves it towards the ...

Scientists have long known that a significant portion of the human genome is made up of the remnants of ancient viruses; these sequences ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

Retroviruses once invaded our ancestors’ DNA — now their remnants make up nearly 8% of the human genome. Scientists say the ...

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human immune system is still “mind-blowing” for molecular biologist Joshua Modell of ...

Australian scientists said on Thursday they had developed a rapid genome sequencing method that would cut to within four hours the time taken to trace the source of coronavirus cases, helping to ...

Researchers from the universities of Basel and Zurich have used a historical specimen from UZH’s Medical Collection to decode the genome of the virus responsible for the 1918–1920 influenza pandemic ...

Distinguishing between self and non-self is a critical ability of the immune system. Some pathogens have evolved proteins that resemble those of their host, a mechanism called molecular mimicry, in an ...

HPV, a very common virus, is found to hijack the body's cells to directly drive skin cancer growth, even after surgeries and ...
