Findings suggest that new genes can form by repurposing fragments of ancestral genes while incorporating entirely new coding regions (the protein-coding parts of the DNA). This innovative concept ...

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 ...

Rice University’s Peter Wolynes and his research team have unveiled a breakthrough in understanding how pseudogenes evolve. Led by Wolynes, the D.R. Bullard-Welch Foundation Professor of Science, ...

Schematic of the T7-ORACLE system. The genome is maintained by the non-mutagenic host replisome (gray), while an orthogonal T7 replisome (red) maintains only a dedicated plasmid (OR) at 100,000-fold ...

Protein sequencing presents different challenges than nucleic acid sequencing, meaning that proteomics has yet to benefit as much as genomics from the next-generation sequencing revolution. However, ...

Life’s most indispensable molecules are not the serene, unchanging fixtures they might appear to be. Even the proteins that guard our DNA and keep cells alive are constantly tweaking their structures ...

Researchers headed by a team at the Centre for Genomic Regulation, Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology and at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have developed an AI tool that they say has made a ...
