The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...

Plants are fast-tracking their own evolution by "plugging in" genetic code stolen from their neighbors, according to new research that reveals the secret to their own successful genetic engineering.

The DNA foundation model Evo 2, first released in February 2025 as a preprint, is now published in the journal Nature.

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic ...

Vegetative propagation is the backbone of commercial chrysanthemum production, yet large differences in rooting ability among varieties continue to ...

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 ...

Imagine waking up to find your entire body gone — no torso, no limbs — just a head that has expanded, split into five ...

Superagers, 80 and 90-year-olds with extraordinary cognitive function, have been found to have a unique genetic profile that ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, Mayo Clinic researchers have identified specific DNA-level changes in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using advanced biological ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic "base pairs" to a new level of precision, opening the door to safer, more ...

Researchers uncover how cells internalize transplanted mitochondria, paving the way for new energy-restoring therapies for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
