Mutations in the genome of an organism give rise to variations in its form and function—its phenotype. However, phenotypic variations can also arise in other ways. The random collisions of molecules constituting an organism—including its DNA and the proteins that…
By Microsoft Research Lab - Cambridge and Department of Bioengineering, Rice University The binding of DNA strands by Watson-Crick base pairing is a fundamental process in biotechnology, which is used around the world for reading and writing DNA sequences and…
By Microsoft Research Human-engineered systems, from ancient irrigation networks to modern semiconductor circuitry, rely on spatial organization to guide the flow of materials and information. Living cells also use spatial organization to control and accelerate the transmission of molecular signals,…

How Microsoft computer scientists and researchers are working to “solve” cancer
Although individual projects vary widely, Microsoft's overarching philosophy toward solving cancer focuses on two basic approaches: one is rooted in the idea that cancer and other biological processes are information processing systems, and the other is more data-driven.
The researcher's ideas about future technology in 2017 and 2027 make for interesting reading and the world will be a better and more interesting place if half of what they envision comes to pass.
