A heat-resistant DNA polymerase mutant with high amplification activity. The development of the mutant uses protein-directed evolution technology to construct a random mutation library for the ...

A team of researchers in Carnegie Mellon University's Computational Biology Department (CBD) have developed new methods to identify parts of the genome critical to understanding how certain traits of ...

The process of evolution usually takes thousands, millions or even billions of years. But researchers have found a way to condense it into a matter of minutes using a method called 'directed evolution ...

EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle. Evolution is biology's powerful ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are key regulators of diverse cellular processes 1, serving as a predominant type of biomolecules that mediate the formation of biomolecular condensates ...

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer‐promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...

Evolution is biology's powerful method of engineering. It works by generating many variants of DNA, RNA, and proteins inside cells and letting nature "select" the organism that performs best. Early ...
