A research team headed by the University of Zurich has developed a powerful new method to precisely edit DNA by combining cutting-edge genetic engineering with artificial intelligence. The work has been published in Nature ...
They've survived for billions of years in boiling acid, deep-sea vents and salt flats. Now, some of Earth's oldest life forms—microbes called Archaea—are offering a new weapon in the fight against one of today's most ...
Antimicrobial resistance is a lurking threat in hospitals around the world. As more strains of bacteria and other microbes evolve defenses against available drugs, more patients run the risk of contracting infections that ...
A new study reveals how Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis), a common food bacterium, regulates the production of a key precursor in vitamin Kâ‚‚ (menaquinone) biosynthesis. The bacteria produce enough of this precursor to support ...
The remains of an Antarctic researcher have been discovered by a Polish team among rocks exposed by a receding glacier in Antarctica. They are identified by DNA as those of Dennis "Tink" Bell, a 25-year-old meteorologist ...
Greek doctor and philosopher Hippocrates once said (loosely translated), "life is short, and art is long." History is littered with quotes from great thinkers with the same idea: art endures. But limitations remain. Classic ...
In an advance in legume genomics, researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have produced the first gap-free, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assemblies ...
In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have developed a synthetic biology ...
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory conducted a meticulous analysis of the compounds released by plant roots into their surrounding environment. The analysis yielded an abundance of data ...
The targeted engineering of artificial proteins with unique properties is now possible with the assistance of a novel method developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr. Dominik Niopek at the Institute of Pharmacy and Molecular ...
