The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique ...

The mechanism of HIV-1 genome uncoating is currently not well understood. This work shows that capsid-targeting drugs lay ...

We have long struggled to determine how the first living organisms on Earth came together. Now, surprising evidence hints that poorly understood prions may have been the vital missing ingredient ...

You can use the pydna_repeatfinder command to find repeats in a fasta sequence. By default, pydna_repeatfinder just prints the repeats in a simple tab-separated format that is easy to read and ...

Abstract: This invited review paper has the aim to acquaint the communication theory community with the emerging topic of molecular data storage. The exposition includes an overview of basic concepts ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are medical conditions characterized by the progressive degradation ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 ...

Scientists searching for new ways to combat cancer think they may have uncovered a promising new lead in the DNA of the ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...
