It’s tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.

Simulating the complete life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell in 4D (space and time)—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—at nanoscale resolution has ...

DNA is the molecule that contains all the genetic information necessary for the development and functioning of living organisms. It is organized in a structure called "chromatin," which is found ...

More than two decades after scientists first sequenced the entire human genome — all 3 billion “letters,” or base pairs, of DNA code — the meaning of much of this code remains a mystery. While an ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA ...

The AI model interpretation method, PISA, shows what genomic AI models learn, allowing scientists to separate experimental bias from biology, train more focused models, and uncover unexpected insights ...
