DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial ...

A RAND study found that the newest AI models can design lab-ready DNA sequences and generate workable protocols, successfully ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...
