This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

Google Colab, also known as Colaboratory, is a free online tool from Google that lets you write and run Python code directly in your browser. It works like Jupyter Notebook but without the hassle of ...

Background: The immunosuppressant tacrolimus (TAC) plays a crucial role in preventing rejection reactions after organ transplant. Due to a narrow therapeutic window, it is one of the long-term ...

The Python team at Microsoft is continuing its overhaul of environment management in Visual Studio Code, with the August 2025 release advancing the controlled rollout of the new Python Environments ...

Genetic factors that could contribute to people’s risk of developing chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), have been identified in a large study. Scientists ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

What scientists once dismissed as junk DNA may actually be some of the most powerful code in our genome. A new international study reveals that ancient viral DNA buried in our genes plays an active ...
