There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...

Scientists are increasingly applying artificial intelligence (AI) to biologics discovery, including de novo protein design. However, complex sequence-function relationships and the need for ...

Illinois biochemistry professor Satish Nair and his colleagues discovered a new class of DNA-protein hybrids and determined the mechanisms by which they are formed in bacterial cells. The findings ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most animal cells, this process depends closely on properly functioning ...
