The EMBO announced the selection of the scientists as the newest members of its Global Investigator Network on Thursday. Five ...

Gene synthesis is a key technology in molecular biology and genetic engineering, enabling the artificial creation of DNA sequences in a laboratory setting. This process bypasses the need for template ...

Researchers have discovered a protein variant that serves as a knob for regulating the body's innate immune response. The findings could lead to new therapies for Long COVID, autoimmune disorders, and ...

Scientists have issued a stark warning about the potential dangers of "mirror bacteria" - hypothetical synthetic life forms ...

For years, scientists have looked to a critical piece of immune system machinery - known as the interferon pathway - for answers. There, when our cells sense an infection, they release a protein known ...

In most research labs, the scientists are on the same page about why they're pursuing a research project. But the Rubin Lab ...

Modern laboratory techniques can generate enormous datasets ... and unlock the mysteries of human biology. The paper outlines ...

M icrobiologists have studied bacterial defense mechanisms against phages for decades. But until less than a decade ago, ...

To boost crops more efficiently in the future, the evolutionary past may hold key insights. The way that plants process ...

Synthetic organisms, mirror-reversed on the molecular level from natural life, could be a possibility within decades. They could interact with humans and the environment in unpredictable, potentially ...

This tool has been employed by the authors to evaluate transcriptional changes under DNA-damaging treatments, with observations that are of value to the systems biology and bioinformatics communities.
