“This is really an exciting paper . . . a true engineering feat. It elegantly increases the number of DNA and RNA building blocks and dramatically expands the information density of nucleic acids,” ...

Consider, for example, the technique called DNA bar coding, which is based on using short fragments of mitochondrial gene CO1 to uniquely identify and document animal species (Savolainen ...

Through combinatorial color coding and iterative hybridization and imaging cycles, researchers can identify thousands of RNA species with this strategy. In single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), ...

Did you know that many of us have up to 4% neanderthal DNA? And that 100% of your DNA may come from outer space? No joke. The biochemistry that defined the coding system of your D ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins ... nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in ...

Cancer researchers, for example, could use Evo 2 to score and predict the effects of coding mutations — changes to DNA sequences in genes that code for proteins — as well as non-coding ...

The researchers studied resistance variants found in the non-coding genome, which makes up 98% of DNA and does not contain genes. Previous attempts to identify resistance mechanisms to ...

"Geneticists are only now starting to uncover the importance of junk DNA and reveal that it can directly influence the coding regions of the genome through silencing and enhancing actions ...

Swiss start-up Haya Therapeutics has formed a partnership with Eli Lilly – worth up to $1 billion – to look for new therapies for obesity in non-coding DNA. The biotech focuses on trawling the ...
