Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial ...
The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...
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 ...
Researchers at the Whitehead Institute have found an easier way to create genetic variety in crops. Many food crops suffer from limited genetic variety after centuries of selective farming. This makes ...
Investigators in the Nancy Guthrie case have turned to genetic genealogy as they try to make the most of potential DNA ...
The results were fascinating, impressive, and sometimes surprisingly bad. Here are five tips that can help you get better results faster.
Google's new default model for generating images, Nano Banana 2 offers faster speeds, better text rendering, and higher resolutions than its predecessor.
A man has been convicted in the 1982 rape and murder of a young girl after investigators were able to use a cigarette to link ...
The Evo2 genomic language model can generate short genome sequences, but scientists say further advances are needed to write ...
In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific methods could help in such cases.
Only a few years ago, Tuesday’s announcement that a glove believed to be connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Tucson, Arizona, had no match in a DNA database would have been a dead end.
