Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

Illustration showing how integrating protein three-dimensional structures with artificial intelligence algorithms can predict synergistic or antagonistic effects of drug combinations, guiding safer ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Proteins are often called the working molecules of the human body. A typical body has more than 20,000 different types of proteins, each of which are involved in many functions ...

A year after demonstrating its AlphaFold program could tackle the decades-old problem of predicting the final working shapes of proteins from just their building blocks—and making it open to the ...

In the rapidly advancing field of computational biology, a newly peer-reviewed review explores the transformative role of deep learning techniques in revolutionizing protein structure prediction. The ...

The artificial intelligence group DeepMind has unraveled the structures of nearly every protein known to science. Researchers achieved the feat using the program AlphaFold, which DeepMind first ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Matt Higgins and his team of researchers at the University of Oxford had a problem. For years, they had been studying the parasite that spreads malaria, a disease that still kills hundreds of ...
