Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

The model has the potential to transform the ability to study telomere biology, learn more about human aging, and ultimately help people preserve better health as they age.

A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting ...

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 ...

An AI model developed by Google's DeepMind could transform our understanding of DNA - the complete recipe for building and running the human body - and its impact on disease and medicine discovery, ...

Functional analysis of the LEM-3 protein and the roles of its domains using the C. elegans model. (A) Evidence shows that LEM-3 accumulates at DNA bridges remaining between daughter cells during the ...

RNA vaccines saved millions of lives during COVID-19 but have limitations like waning immunity and complex production. Scientists are now testing a new platform called DoriVac, which uses folded DNA ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...
