Researchers from the University of Sydney have developed a system that mimics natural selection inside living mammalian cells but in a very controlled setting. They call it PROTEUS, short for PROTein ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Directed evolution is eerily reminiscent of AI in the way that it generates and evolves molecules until it reaches the best possible solution.

Schematic of the T7-ORACLE system. The genome is maintained by the non-mutagenic host replisome (gray), while an orthogonal T7 replisome (red) maintains only a dedicated plasmid (OR) at 100,000-fold ...

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 ...

In a study published in Developmental Cell, a team led by Prof. Robert K. Naumann from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and researchers from BGI ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations. Germinal centers are high-speed evolution ...

A new platform combines rational protein design with continuous evolution to discover functional molecules more efficiently. In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or ...
