The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Thousands of new genes are hidden inside the “dark matter” of our genome. Previously thought to be noise left over from evolution, a new study found that some of these tiny DNA snippets can make ...

Protein barcodes are short, information- rich stretches of amino acids encoded by DNA sequences that can be added to the DNA sequences coding for proteins. Then, when protein barcode DNA and protein ...

DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...
