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 ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Posts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. AlphaFold 3 uses the same method as AI image generators to predict how different molecules fit together.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses. Many existing options rely on molecules ...

Scientists developed a charge-free polymer-DNA complex that boosts cellular DNA uptake 14-fold in mice, avoiding the harmful inflammation caused by current methods. Many existing options rely on ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound to DNA through an annealing process, then delivered by intramuscular ...
