Molecular Biology

DNA annotation or genome annotation identifies genes and all of the coding regions in a genome and determines what those genes do. Once a genome is sequenced, it needs to be annotated to make sense of it. Gene annotation involves the process of taking the raw DNA sequence produced by the genome-sequencing projects and adding […]

DeepMind’s artificial intelligence system AlphaFold2, predicts the 3D structure of a protein based on its amino acid sequence. It looks to be a 50-year-old answer to the problem of protein folding. DeepMind’s AlphaFold1 was the first in the series, and it scored high in the 13th Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (Deepmind’s first effort […]

Generally, Molecular biology is the study of biomolecules like DNA, RNA and protein. The area interknits with the other areas of biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry and Genetics. However, Biochemistry is the study of chemical molecule and vital processes occurring in organisms. Biochemists mainly focus on role, functions and structure of biomolecule. Genetics is the study of [...]
