Here, biology kind of takes over. If the phage genome that the AI model generated is legit, the proteins will start to self-assemble into a phage. You’ll know it’s worked when that phage goes on to ...

A total of 10 individuals with HIV have been cured to date. Most of these patients have remained anonymous, but three have ...

Technically, that entire process took longer than one bye week, but the Bemidji State offensive lineman has a rather cool item to put on his résumé when he graduates in December — something that is ...

Infections particular to our genome may have helped drive human-specific traits — plus, using heat to power DNA computers.

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

When a key protein regulator dials down DNA repair mechanisms, our cells accumulate more mutations, which may cause us to age ...

Every new life begins after a genetic shuffle. When organisms make eggs or sperm, maternal and paternal chromosomes pair up ...

Non-reversible nucleotide substitution models best describe strand-specific nucleotide substitution biases of viral genomes.

For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating—and possibly even ...

Some bacterial-infecting viruses use ‘sponges’ to mop up defence molecules, but bacteria can fight back by responding when a ...

Bacteriophages designed with AI kill E. coli faster than a well-studied strain, but the tech needs regulation before moving beyond lab dishes.

David Ussery discuss work using high-performance computing for the analysis of millions of viral genome sequences ...
