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

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

Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover ...

AI designed new bacteriophages that killed E. coli in lab tests, promising advances but raising safety concerns.

The idea that a single-celled bacterium can defend itself against viruses in a similar way as the 1.8-trillion-cell human ...

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 ...

Bacteriophages designed with AI kill E. coli faster than a well-studied strain, but the tech needs regulation before moving beyond lab dishes.

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 ...

The work, described in a preprint paper, has the potential to create new treatments and accelerate research into artificially ...

Scientists are nearing a breakthrough in using CRISPR gene-editing to eliminate HIV from human DNA. Early trials of EBT-101 ...

Mutations can result in viruses that infect cells, but can't copy themselves without help from other viruses - now it seems ...
