Colibactin is a powerful toxin produced by Escherichia coli and other bacteria living in the human gut. This highly unstable ...
DNA itself is made from four chemical building blocks, or bases, which are strung together in endlessly varied combinations. It's the order of these bases -- adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and ...
A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.
Fresh from solving the protein structure challenge, Google’s deep-learning outfit is moving on to the human genome. Google DeepMind says it’s trained an artificial intelligence that can predict which ...
A study conducted by the Development and Growth Control Laboratory at IRB Barcelona sheds light on the contribution of DNA damage to the invasiveness of cancer cells. The discovery challenges the ...
A major new discovery may help scientists figure what causes autism, which is diagnosed in one of every 150 children, doctors say. The answer might come from looking deep within the human genome, said ...
Tackling a common childhood virus could open the door to preventing bladder cancer, according to new research.
