Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Adelaide have developed GoT-Multi, a tool that tracks multiple gene mutations and gene activity in individual cancer cells. Unlike earlier ...

Directed evolution is a laboratory technique that mimics natural selection and allows scientists to evolve genes and the proteins they encode. Traditionally, this technique has been used in microbes, ...

A new platform combines rational protein design with continuous evolution to discover functional molecules more efficiently. In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or ...

It is the ultimate mystery of biology: How did life begin? A team of Harvard scientists has brought us closer to an answer by creating artificial cell-like chemical systems that simulate metabolism, ...

New work shows that physical folding of the genome to control genes located far away may have been a critical turning point for life on Earth. For evolutionary biologists, what most distinguishes the ...

Fluorescent proteins can be turned into qubits within cells and could give us a deeper understanding of biology at the ...

New research shows Earth’s “Boring Billion” was a time of dramatic transformation. The breakup of the supercontinent Nuna 1.5 ...

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin have unearthed a universal thermal performance curve (UTPC) that seemingly applies to ...

Dr. Matthew Matasar discusses why stem cell transplant is still a standard, life-saving option in blood cancers and how CAR-T ...
