A new study reveals that certain locations of DNA are copied faster than others, which could also have an effect on mutation rate. Cell division is fundamental for life, allowing organisms to grow, ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

HOUSTON – (Aug. 9, 2022) – Knowing the structure of a complex biological system isn’t nearly enough to understand how it works. It helps to know how the system moves. In that light, Rice University ...

A giant DNA virus pulled from a Japanese freshwater pond is forcing scientists to rethink how complex cells first acquired their defining feature: the nucleus. Named ushikuvirus, the newly ...

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2, first released in February 2025 as a preprint, is now published in the journal Nature.

DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division - scientists have opened a new frontier of computer ...

BK polyomavirus, or BKPyV, is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. There are no effective drugs to treat BKPyV. Research reveals new aspects of BKPyV replication, offering possible drug targets ...
