A predictive biophysical model that integrates protein-DNA structures and sequences to accurately determine genomic binding sites and affinities of DNA-binding proteins.

SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are ring-shaped molecular motors essential for genome folding. Despite recent progress, the detailed molecu ...

An unusual DNA structure may hold the key to treating one of the deadliest cancers affecting women, which claims more than 200,000 lives globally each year.

In research published in Advanced Science, investigators describe their ability to reconstruct 3D facial images from DNA data, which could have important applications in forensic investigations of ...

Computational predictions of biomolecular structure via artificial intelligence (AI) based approaches, as exemplified by AlphaFold software, have the potential to model of all life’s biomolecules. We ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?
