A research team has unveiled a breakthrough in understanding how specific genetic sequences, known as pseudogenes, evolve. Rice University's Peter Wolynes and his research team have unveiled a ...

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

Synthesizing new proteins – the building blocks of biological life – is a scientific field of immense potential, and a newly developed AI model promises to create instructions for new proteins way ...

In a remarkable leap forward for synthetic biology, the AI model ESM3, developed by Evolutionary Scale, has achieved a significant milestone. By simulating half a billion years of evolutionary ...

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about ...

In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have ...

The ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions provides powerful applications for the development of selective, high-affinity antibodies, enzymes with new catalytic properties, and the ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone structures through proteins present in the bone matrix. The findings of the study, ...

Fluorescent proteins (FPs) have transformed biological imaging by enabling detailed visualisation of cellular and molecular processes in real time. Initially exemplified by the green fluorescent ...
