Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, identify genomic features and generate entirely new genetic sequences.

Complementary biochemical and structural findings reveal molecular principles underlying substrate selectivity by a model hyaluronan synthase.

Researchers have made DNA storage rewritable, overcoming one of its biggest limitations. The breakthrough could turn DNA into a practical alternative to today’s energy-hungry data centers. The post ...

Using a tool to solve a protein's structure, for most researchers in the world of structural biology and computational chemistry, is not unlike using the Rosetta Stone to unlock the secrets of ancient ...

A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...

Using an AI coding assistant to migrate an application from one programming language to another wasn’t as easy as it looked. Here are three takeaways.

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

Researchers at OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks showed that an AI model working with an autonomous lab can design and iterate real ...
