Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? Subscribe ...

The world of protein engineering just took a giant leap forward. A team in China has developed a method that makes designing better proteins faster, cheaper, and easier. Led by Professor Gao Caixia ...

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.

In a remarkable leap forward for synthetic biology, the AI model ESM3, developed by Evolutionary Scale, has achieved a significant milestone. By simulating half a billion years of evolutionary ...

It has long been thought that protein function and stability are highly sensitive to changes in the composition of the internal structures, or protein cores. However, a large-scale experiment probing ...
