Quantum algorithms and computation is a research area focused on exploiting quantum mechanical principles—such as superposition, entanglement, and interference—to design computational models and ...

De novo gene evolution entails the birth of new genes from previously non-coding DNA. In this Review, Bornberg-Bauer and Eicholt overview how protein-coding de novo genes are identified, the ...

Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum. An international research team led by biologists from Heidelberg University as ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT; also known as lateral gene transfer) is the non-sexual movement of genetic information between genomes. Incoming DNA or RNA can replace existing genes, or can introduce ...

Discover how researchers are overcoming the limitations of the undruggable target in drug discovery using novel approaches ...
