An international team of researchers, including those at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science ...

Human spatial representations are often assumed to represent Euclidean properties such as length, distance, and angle. Here we test an alternative (but not mutually exclusive) possibility – that ...

As millions of people were coming down from the excitement of the FIFA World Cup Final at the start of this week, a different kind of excitement was building within the mathematical community. Levent ...

How can the relationships between all known proteins be represented? Recent advances in AI describe proteins as vectors, where the distance between vectors relates to the similarity between proteins.

The race to complete the human pangenome—which comprises all genetic information across the human species—has been underway since 2022, when the first complete reference human genome sequence was ...

Jeremy has more than 2800 published articles on Collider to his name, and has been writing for the site since February 2022. He's an omnivore when it comes to his movie-watching diet, so will gladly ...

At Vertex Partnership Academies, a New York charter school where most students are Black or Hispanic and from low-income families, children are taught there is a formula they can follow to avoid ...

Scientists are tackling the computationally intensive RNA inverse folding problem, which seeks to design nucleotide sequences that reliably fold into desired structures. Shuta Kikuchi from the ...

Poxvirus attack of antiviral defense pathways unleashes an effector-triggered NF-κB response How proteins initiate and evolve interactions with other proteins to form binding sites and protein-protein ...

How DNA and RNA molecules fold, move, and interact is controlled by their sequence in complex ways that remain obscure. Existing methods can either determine sequences or measure single-molecule ...

A graphic representation of a round, lumpy, blue protein and a single, comblike, purple strand of RNA interacting with a twisted, double, blue strand of DNA that separates where it meets the RNA. A ...
