A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

With a new study in the journal Science Bulletin, researchers at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University have discovered a new way that aggressive breast cancer cells escape the immune ...

In many cases, one gene can produce multiple versions of a protein. Rare diseases may present differently in people for whom one or more versions of the protein are still produced versus in people for ...

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 ...

Mother Nature is perhaps the most powerful generative “intelligence.” With just four genetic letters—A, T, C, and G—she has crafted the dazzling variety of life on Earth. Can generative AI expand on ...

Perhaps you’ve read in a biology textbook that humans have the same number of genes as C. elegans, a worm used in scientific research. Perhaps you’d also like to believe that humans are more complex ...

The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.

Scientists organize millions of proteins by shape, as predicted by AI, revealing 700,000 new families and some shapes unique ...
