The expression pattern of a single gene or multiple genes can be investigated using a technique RNA microarray. In this technique, RNA molecules are ‘spotted’ onto a solid surface. These act as probes ...

While the large proportion of our genome that does not instruct our cells to form proteins has been harder to study than protein-coding genes, it has been shown to have vital physiological functions.

A team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Georgia Institute of Technology is using supercomputing and revolutionary deep learning tools to predict ...

A novel bioinformatics approach for classifying proteins according to similarity of function, rather than of sequence, is described in the April 12 PNAS. Albert Y. Lau and Daniel I. Chasman of ...

Peptoids, or n-substitued glycines, are complex and diverse oligomeric structures which have been explored for a number of biomimetic applications including drug delivery, surfactants, and catalysts.

Marking a significant technology breakthrough in tracking the interactions between RNA and DNA, scientists at the University of California have evolved a new technique. Known as Mapping RNA Genome ...
