Gene duplication is very important for the evolution of species because it can facilitate the creation of new genes. Normally, changes to genes result in loss of function and so are weeded out by ...

Genome evolution is the ... genomic parasites, gene and ancient genome duplications, polyploidy, and comparative genomics. The complete genome assembly of the model plant Nicotiana benthamiana ...

which included millions of gene sequences from the types of bacteria that target viruses—a process that took four weeks. Notably, the model is able to read data down to the nucleotide level ...

A new study presents "Evo" – a machine learning model capable of decoding and designing DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, from molecular to genome scale, with unparalleled accuracy. Evo's ability to ...

The majority of highly polymorphic genes are related to immune functions and with over 100 alleles within a population, genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are the most polymorphic ...

Researchers led by Prof. HU Zheng from SIAT, uncovered a polyclonal origin of tumors, challenging the traditional clonal evolution theory. Using a DNA barcoding system in mouse models and genomic ...
