A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Scientists have developed an AI model capable of reading, analyzing and generating genetic code across all known domains of life—a development with vast implications for understanding human disease, ...

This illustration depics how Evo 2 learns the genetic language shared by all living things, from woolly mammoths to bacteria. The DNA foundation model Evo 2, first released in February 2025 as a ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...
