Biological systems, once thought too chaotic for quantum effects, may be quietly leveraging quantum mechanics to process ...

Philip Kurian’s research reveals how biological systems process quantum information—billions of times faster than traditional ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the movement of genetic material from one organism to another. In this article, we will ...

The formation of organelles was a pivotal point in eukaryotic evolution. Here they show that Archaea possess Arf-like GTPases that can perform key organelle-producing mechanisms when expressed in ...

More than 80 years ago, Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the ...

Artificial cells using riboswitch-gene fusion in liposomes produce fluorescent proteins when detecting specific targets.

Asgard archaea may have led to the evolution of eukaryotic life ETH Zurich researchers identify actin and microtubule ...

Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

Chromatin is a flexibly joined chain of nucleosomes that exists inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and has been described as a 'bead on a string'. Chromatin organization strengthens DNA for ...

New research sheds light on one of the biggest questions in biology: where did complex life come from? The answer may lie ...

Investigators from the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research and the University Health Network have synthesized triazolopyridopyrimidine and dihydroimidazopyridopyrimidine derivatives acting as ...

In 2015, researchers examining deep-sea sediments near the underwater volcano Loki discovered gene fragments indicating a new ...
