A research team led by Sahand Jamal Rahi at EPFL’s Laboratory of the Physics of Biological Systems has introduced a new ...
A peer-reviewed study published in Cell in March 2026 introduces “optovolution,” an in vivo directed-evolution system that ...
Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...
Proteins sourced from microorganisms are attracting attention for their potential in biomanufacturing a variety of products, including pharmaceuticals, industrial enzymes, and diagnostic antibodies.
Learn how modified fluorescent proteins are evolving into quantum sensors, enhancing our understanding of cellular processes.
Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their ...
Gene sequences are made up of nucleotide bases, which are 'read' by the cell's machinery in triplets; three nucleotide bases are interpreted as one codon, and every codon has a corresponding amino ...
Using an ionic solution, protein sequences can now be pulled through a nanopore. Researchers at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) have found a way to transport a protein through a nanopore ...
