Researchers discover that the nerve cells that make us uniquely human are also uniquely vulnerable to dying during the waves ...

Some of your most important life partners are the mitochondria that power all your cells. You and these little cellular ...

Linear DNA templates let researchers bypass the additional cloning, purification, linearization, or amplification steps often ...

We compare the hybrid versions of the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade to find out how these two closely related SUVs ...

An analysis of samples taken from the Shroud of Turin, the cloth thought by some to have been wrapped around Jesus, reveals a ...

Researchers have unveiled CREsted, a comprehensive software powerhouse. CREsted doesn’t just describe how DNA works; it allows scientists to design entirely new, synthetic enhancers—short DNA ...

Understanding how genes are switched on and off in specific cell types remains one of biology's central challenges. While AI ...

Given CpGPT's generative capabilities, we have implemented an analogous version of the chain-of-thought used in NLP tasks but for the reconstruction of methylation patterns. For more information about ...

As cybercriminals leverage generative AI to craft hyper-realistic phishing campaigns and deepfake-enhanced attacks, the ...

A wave of AI foundation models built on plant DNA sequences is giving researchers new tools to annotate genomes, predict gene ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...
