Recent advances in computational protein design have depended mainly on neural networks and machine learning to generate binders. However, the complexity of protein–protein interactions and the limitations of data-driven models constrain future progress.This post was […]

As a molecular biologist, talking to the public about my work with DNA has often felt like trying to translate a foreign language. This got me thinking: could these scientific ideas be presented in an […]

A team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has developed a low-cost, non-invasive method to estimate total leaf area in dwarf tomato plants using 3D reconstruction from standard video footage. The study applies structure-from-motion techniques […]

A research team has developed a high-throughput multiplexed gene and cell doping analysis (HiMDA) based on gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas). The work is published in the journal Science Advances.This post was originally published on this site

University of Queensland researchers have developed an affordable, open-source DNA measurement tool that can be built using a home 3D printer.This post was originally published on this site

Researchers at Rice University have engineered E. coli to act as living multiplexed sensors, allowing these genetically modified cells to detect and respond to multiple environmental toxins simultaneously by converting their biological responses into readable […]

A smartphone-controlled ingestible capsule that can control and allow for two-way communication with gut bacteria in pigs is reported in Nature Microbiology. The findings could lay the foundation for new diagnostic and treatment strategies for […]

Coral restoration efforts could be dramatically improved with technologies that support the survival and growth of baby corals, suggests a new study.This post was originally published on this site

A pioneering study led by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has reported significant findings regarding the noise structure of Orbitrap mass spectrometers, a critical tool in the analysis of complex biological processes. The study, published […]

Beef is growing in the Petri dishes of ETH professor Ori Bar-Nur, an expert in regenerative and muscle biology. However, he hasn’t yet tasted the cultivated meat because human consumption requires official approval in Switzerland. […]
