A guide to DNA-encoded libraries for drug discovery

Scientists transferred light-harvesting proteins into yeast for the first time, shining a light on the past lives of eukaryotic cells.

With the help of directed evolution, scientists inch closer to developing viral vectors that can cross the human blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapy.

Many species of birds and other vertebrates form pair bonds and mate with just one other individual for much of their lives. But the unions don’t always work out. Scientists want to know the underlying factors.

Jumping genes in bdelloid rotifers are tamped down by DNA methylation performed by an enzyme pilfered from bacteria roughly 60 million years ago, a study finds.

Bacteria that live in the digestive tracts of animals may influence the adaptive trajectories of their hosts.

Biofilms are home to millions of microbes, but disrupting their interactions could produce more effective antibiotics.

The approach could help test hypotheses about how atypical function of the brain’s immune cells contributes to autism.

Sequences for the model organism and two of its kin reveal how these plants got their oversized genomes.

A chromosome-scale genome sequence for this infamous agricultural pest could help mitigate its plagues.
