Predicting how gene expression varies
Discoveries at EMBL will help researchers to interpret one of the most common types of experiments in genomics and medical…
Flexible and protected – new findings on SARS-CoV-2 protein shed light on virus’s ability to infect cells
Researchers studied the spike protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. With its spikes, the virus binds to human cells and infects them. The…
The curious genome of the tuatara, an ancient reptile in peril
A global team of researchers including the Flicek Team at EMBL-EBI has partnered up with the Māori tribe Ngātiwai to sequence the genome of the…
Bagpipe and Pokemon, or how not to name a human gene
The human genome harbours about 19 000 protein-coding genes, many of which still have no known function. As scientists unveil the secrets of our DNA,…
Visualising the cell’s molecular machinery in action
A new approach that allows researchers to see molecular machinery at work inside cells has offered a deeper understanding of how bacteria produce…
Europe PMC: unlocking the potential of COVID-19 preprints
Europe PMC has begun indexing full-text COVID-19 preprints along with the associated data. The project aims to accelerate research to fight the…
Understanding chromosome organisation
EMBL scientists and collaborators help reveal the process by which enormous quantities of DNA are folded into…
Artificial intelligence finds patterns of mutations and survival in tumour images
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm that uses computer vision to analyse tissue samples from cancer patients. The…
A tool to improve cancer research
EMBL scientists have created a new, realistic 3D testbed that could help achieve the goal of stopping cancers before they start by studying cancer…
