Open-access databases such as the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) contain more than 2.4 million bacterial genomes, and this number continues to grow rapidly. Until now, searching these vast ...

We introduce FAMSA2, an algorithm that produces high-accuracy multiple-protein-sequence alignments at high speed. Across structural, phylogenetic and functional ...

(Agnes Noy/Catley et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2026) If you could peer inside a cell's nucleus, you would find DNA tightly ...

Scientists in the UK obtained detailed images of two DNA double helices with aligned grooves, confirming a hypothesis ...

Every molecular biologist knows the ritual. A plate of cloned sequences comes back from the Sanger sequencing facility, and ...

Furthermore, the researchers discovered that the DNA does not automatically pair equally with every sequence, with some DNA strands creating far stronger contacts than others. Something similar was ...

Sequence analysis encompasses the computational examination of biological polymers—DNA, RNA and proteins—to elucidate their structure, function and evolutionary relationships. At its core lies the ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding for diverse biological applications, such as proteins that form the building ...

A ground-breaking study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution – a discovery that could pave the way for more ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Article reviewed by Ninning Liu, PhD from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Similar to retail stores that use standardized ...
