Using optical tweezers, researchers at National Taiwan University have observed individual binding events in real time, ...

Key Takeaways Genetic testing is rapidly moving genomics from a niche specialty to becoming more integrated into mainstream clinical practice. Once deployed primarily to diagnose rare and inherited ...

Epigenetic silencing governs key biological processes, from flowering time in plants to preventing uncontrolled cell growth ...

The accuracy of spatial gene expression profiles generated by probe-based in situ spatially-resolved transcriptomic technologies depends on the specificity with which probes bind to their intended ...

Sequence Analysis: Compare coding and non‑coding strands during annotation. Educational Purposes: Teach students about antiparallel DNA structure and base pairing rules. Visit the tool page, paste or ...

The synthetic bacteria contain a shorter genetic code with 57 codons rather than 64, freeing up space for further edits that might lead to new drugs or virus-resistant microbes ...

An advanced bioinformatics tool to reverse translate protein sequences into DNA. Use our automated codon table lookup for any species or upload your own custom table to generate the most likely DNA ...

At the heart of all life is a code. Our cells use it to turn the information in our DNA into proteins. So do maple trees. So do hammerhead sharks. So do shiitake mushrooms. Except for some minor ...

Imagine if nearly a third of your DNA was composed of ancient viral remnants—genetic hitchhikers from infections that occurred millions of years ago. Now imagine that these viral fragments aren’t just ...

What scientists once dismissed as junk DNA may actually be some of the most powerful code in our genome. A new international study reveals that ancient viral DNA buried in our genes plays an ...

Data storage and retrieval using DNA sequences have been extensively studied in computer and information sciences because of the increasing demand for archiving large amounts of data over long periods ...
