Learn how the new Cicada COVID-19 variant’s spike protein mutations may help it partially evade existing immunity and drive ...

There’s a new COVID-19 variant circulating nationally and health officials fear the highly mutated “Cicada” could overcome ...

A research team led by Purdue University's W. Andy Tao has discovered a new type of protein modification related to cellular ...

Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have produced a mutational map showing how mutations in ...

In humans, hundreds of proteins interact in a complex network dubbed the interactome. Those interactions are further complicated when disease-causing mutations are introduced into genes that code for ...

Experts explain why this particular strain is more likely to overcome immunity from vaccination or previous infection.

Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine say they have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that reveals how protein modifications link genetic mutations to disease. The method, called ...

The number of known proteins is infinitely small in comparison to the universe of possible proteins, which could in theory be ...

Findings bolster the idea that the functions of this protein -- MeCP2 -- are more centered on nucleosomes, rather than other forms of DNA. One particular protein lies at the heart of brain development ...

A new paper in Genome Biology and Evolution, indicates that while the COVID-19 virus has developed rapidly since 2019, it has done so within limited genetic channels. These genetic limits have ...
