Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial ...

Abstract: This article presents a novel knowledge-based genetic algorithm (GA) to generate a collision-free path in complex environments. The proposed algorithm infuses specific domain knowledge into ...

Small variations in DNA sequence can alter an organism’s response to the environment or susceptibility to disease. Interpreting the impact of genome sequence variation remains a research challenge.

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, when occurring together in a gene, can restore function—proving a decades-old ...

Meta is giving Instagram users a rare glimpse into why certain posts are showing up on their Reels, the platform’s feed of algorithmically curated videos. Starting today, users will now see a list of ...

An experimental gene therapy developed by researchers at UCLA, University College London and Great Ormond Street Hospital has restored and maintained immune system function in 59 of 62 children born ...

ORLANDO, Fla. — Steering clinicians toward a cascade approach for thyroid function testing cut unnecessary orders by a monthly average of 15% and concurrent orders by 19% per month, according to ...

Social media algorithms are pushing unsolicited pornographic content into children’s feeds, according to a report by the Children’s Commissioner. The data was collected prior to the implementation of ...

- By examining over 100 unique variants associated with the CASR gene causative of ADH1, the average frequency of gain-of-function CASR variants was ~3.7 per 100,000, closely aligned to previously ...
