Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing the deep learning ...

WTOP’s Matt Kaufax takes an even deeper dive into the Smithsonian Natural History Museum’s “Ocean Library” through DNA collection.

Advances in vaccine technology, antibody therapies, and genetic surveillance are giving researchers new tools to fight ...

Scientists at Google DeepMind —the company’s artificial intelligence research arm—say they’ve created an A.I. tool that can ...

Background Sinoatrial node dysfunction and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist, and each potentially initiates or perpetuates the other. Consequently, genetic risk factors for AF may be associated ...

Your genetic code is not as logical as it could be. What if we could rewrite our genetic code, and make it more efficient, sensical and organized? Join Hank and dive deep into genetics in this fun ...

While codons (combinations of three nucleotides) may vary in which do what functions, a long-standing rule was that each codon serves one specific purpose. New evidence, however suggests that ...

Fulgent Genetics is rated Hold due to strong diagnostic revenue growth but an unproven transition into integrated precision medicine. FLGT's diagnostics business leads with rapid genome tests and ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

In context: Thanks to improvements in DNA sequencing techniques, the number of public repositories containing genetic data is growing at a significant pace. Zurich researchers have been working on a ...

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein fragments called dipeptides. By analyzing billions of dipeptide sequences ...
