Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at quantum computing for image recognition, a gene therapy using a patient’s ...

A team has discovered how certain bacteria breathe by generating electricity, using a natural process that pushes electrons into their surroundings instead of breathing on oxygen. The findings could ...

A team led by Rice University bioscientist Caroline Ajo-Franklin has discovered how certain bacteria breathe by generating ...

Researchers from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and UCLA announced the creation of an engineered ...

Figure 6. Bacterial two-hybrid interactions on X-Gal plates of Sll0528 with different proximate proteins. The interaction of leucine zippers of GCN4 from the plasmids pKT25-zip and pUT18C-zip was used ...

The technical challenge was there was still no accurate DNA sequence of a dire wolf. A 2021 effort to obtain DNA from old bones had yielded only a tiny amount, not enough to accurately decode the ...

This pathway, or others like it, could explain why some inheritable traits between generations can’t be explained exclusively via DNA and RNA. "There are a lot of traits and disorders that we ...

Scientists’ capacity to perform genetic engineering, design new medical tests and therapies, and understand gene functions has skyrocketed thanks to the ability to design specific DNA sequences that ...
