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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

IITs now offer various programs that do not require JEE scores, such as executive robotics (IIT Delhi), genetic engineering (IIT Guwahati), engineering mathematics (IIT Kharagpur), thermodynamics (IIT ...

These institutes now offer short-term and certificate courses in advanced fields like data science, artificial intelligence, robotics, programming, and genetic engineering. Even today, when we hear ...

Did you know one of the largest collections of marine DNA in the entire world is hiding just outside D.C.? In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” we’re taking an even deeper dive into the ...

“Why should only the tall have access to tall genes? And why should only the smart have access to smart genes?… our goal is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to choose their genes for ...

AlphaGenome can analyse up to 1m letters of DNA code at once and could pave way for new treatments Researchers at Google DeepMind have unveiled their latest artificial intelligence tool and claimed it ...

Scientists have made the first step towards creating new species in the lab. Researchers have used artificial intelligence to create a new virus to attack a colony of the deadly E.coli bacteria. The ...

While codons (combinations of three nucleotides) may vary in which do what functions, a long-standing rule was that each codon serves one specific purpose. New evidence, however suggests that ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...
