When the Chernobyl power plant explosion scattered ionizing radiation all over Europe, the damage it dealt lasted much longer than the initial blast. Researchers sequenced the genomes of Chernobyl ...

Hackathons using AlphaGenome and other AI models are hunting down the genetic causes of devastating conditions that have evaded diagnosis. When more than 100 researchers voluntarily locked themselves ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...
