Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics. Many ...

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

To use this evidence, investigators typically must grow the larvae until adulthood in a laboratory setting and then identify ...

Project demonstrates that a multiplex tNGS assay can function as a reliable and informative diagnostic tool.

For people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), life-saving antiretroviral therapy keeps their HIV-infected immune cells from making new copies of the virus, preventing illness and ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

Hanss is part of an interdisciplinary team of archaeologists, chemists, historians, conservators, and materials scientists ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak, and multiple variants were threatening lives around the world, scientists relied on a process called "tiled amplicon sequencing" to track the virus's spread ...

Seventeen years have passed since the publication of Daniyal Mueenuddin’s sensational debut collection of linked stories, “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders.” A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, the book ...

Abstract: Deep neural network (DNN) models have been widely used in many tasks due to their superior performance. However, DNN models are usually vulnerable to adversarial example attacks, which ...

Full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing using nanopore technology has become increasingly relevant for profiling complex microbial communities, including the human oral microbiome. Primer selection plays ...
