Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

A study published this week in the journal Nature Astronomy presents evidence that the asteroid Ryugu contains all five of the nucleotide bases that make up the genetic code. That includes the ...

For decades, scientists have been carefully unraveling the role of genes in disease by examining how small variations in a person's genetic code can shape lifelong risk of developing common conditions ...

Snakes have lost the gene that encodes ghrelin, a hormone that helps regulate hunger in many vertebrates, according to a new study.

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, identify genomic features and generate entirely new genetic sequences.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across the entire tree of life, Evo 2 can identify patterns in gene sequences across ...

When a nuclear disaster empties a landscape of people, nature doesn’t politely wait for instructions. It moves in. After the 2011 meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, entire ...
