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.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Directed evolution is a laboratory method that speeds up protein mutations to help create novel cancer and neurodegenerative disorder therapies. In a ...

In 2012, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) approached the National Research Council and asked that an ad hoc committee be formed to develop a list of workshop topics to explore the impact of ...

Natural evolution is a slow process that relies on the gradual accumulation of genetic mutations. In recent years, scientists have found ways to speed up the process on a small scale, allowing them to ...

Gene therapy has experienced an increasing number of successful human clinical trials, leading to 6 FDA approved products using delivery vectors based on adeno-associated viruses (AAV). These ...

Scientists have developed a novel protein evolution approach dubbed optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic, multi-state, and computational functions based on ...

Gene therapy has experienced an increasing number of successful human clinical trials, leading to numerous FDA-approved therapies based on recombinant viruses for rare disease, cancer, and other ...
