4Biology is a focused search engine built for biology students, researchers, educators, and lab managers. We combine multiple indexes, curated sources, and AI tools to surface publications, protocols, datasets, suppliers, and learning resources that matter to life scientists. Use the site to save time, find specialized resources, and get context-specific search results not optimized for general web traffic. Part of the 4SEARCH network of topic specific search engines.
Google DeepMind has unveiled AlphaGenome 2, an artificial intelligence (AI) model that predicts in which cell types DNA variants will act. Provided by Getty Image Bank An updated version of an artificial intelligence (AI) model that predicts how deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) variants affect gene activity in different cell types has…
How this happens has remained mysterious for decades. But scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute have now figured it out. The answer involves some very deliberate breaking and rejoining of DNA. Breaking is a theme of…
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have mapped an enzyme that could be targeted to develop new treatments for glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1), a rare genetic disorder that can lead to brain damage, revealing new details about how the enzyme works and how its activity…
ATP sensor targeted to mitochondria in primary neurons. Green indicates the presence of ATP, while red independently labels the sensor. Credit: Ryan lab. A molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the basic unit of…
High-resolution, genome-wide exploration of the DSB landscape DSBs are more likely to occur in some genomic regions than others. To understand this non-random distribution, we are taking advantage of the Spo11-oligonucleotide…
Two people can get the same score on a memory test today. Years later, one may start missing appointments and struggling with everyday tasks while the other still manages both with ease. An early clue to that difference may lie in a brain scan, research suggests. In a new study…
Fukuoka, Japan—In the 1997 film Men in Black, one of the prominent pieces of alien technology the main characters use in their work to police extraterrestrial activity on Earth was the neuralyzer. This flashy handheld device…
If you suffer from a chronic joint disease such as osteoarthritis, you may be overweight and put a burden on your knees. But you can also blame evolution and envy chimpanzees and gorillas, which are almost always exempt from this…
See more of our coverage in your search results. Double, double toil and trouble. A mushroom found in Florida sounds like something straight out of a witch’s cauldron, packing an unusual combination of chemicals that could work sorcery on the human body. “There is no species of mushroom anywhere, in…
Academic Innovation To prevent auto-immune attack, our bodies avoid making antibodies against molecules found on our own cells. That leaves gaps in our immune defenses bacteria could exploit. Some of those gaps are filled by…
