Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Scientists say they have developed a computer model -- dubbed quantitative fate mapping -- that looks back in the developmental timeline to trace the origin of cells in a fully grown organism.

A new computer program allows scientists to design synthetic DNA segments that indicate, in real time, the state of cells. It will be used to screen for anti-cancer or viral infections drugs, or to ...

Scientists say they’ve gene-hacked a human cell, using CRISPR tech to turn it into a tiny biological computer complete with the cellular analog of dual core processors. The squishy little CPUs could ...

The main goal of synthetic biology is the ability to control gene expression through gene switches based on computer models. For years, biotechnologists worked to compose digital circuits with the ...

Scientists show how stem cells process DNA with speed and precision, revealing principles that could lead to programmable DNA-based chips for biotechnology and medicine. (Nanowerk News) In the human ...

Until now, DNA writing technology has only been able to capture and record a limited number of molecular events in the body, meaning they cannot be used over long periods of time. The paper describes ...

IBM has started selling the first computer based on its multicore Cell processor, targeting organizations that run compute-intensive tasks such as medical imaging or oil exploration. The Cell chip was ...

MANHASSET, N.Y. — IBM Corp. said Tuesday (Sept. 12) it is offering its first systems based on the Cell processor it co-developed with Sony and Toshiba. IBM said its BladeCenter QS20 is based on the ...
