Zhijian “James” Chen, a biochemist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, was awarded the 2024 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for the discovery of the cGAS enzyme that ...

By creating a more true-to-life representation of DNA's environment, researchers have discovered that strand separation may take more mechanical force than the field previously believed.

Lymphomas belong to the group of malignant diseases of the immune system and mainly affect the organs of the lymphatic system ...

“Instead, we use machine learning to predict highly active designer enzymes that have been engineered from mutated DNA sequences modeled on the computer instead of created by hand in the la ...
