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 ...

When the performance of AI models was assessed within stratified patient subgroups, such as only high-grade breast cancers or only MSI-positive tumors, accuracy fell substantially, revealing that the ...

“We have discovered that people carrying rare, naturally occurring mutations in a gene called CHRNB3 tend to smoke significantly fewer cigarettes per day,” explain the study’s lead authors, ...

Discover how an ancient gene influences the sex of ant, bee, and wasp embryos, impacting conservation and breeding practices.

After decades of intense focus on genetics, the biomedical research community is undergoing a major shift, focusing on a new framework called "exposomics." Similar to the way scientists work to map ...

Ripple (XRP) CEO claims the XRP Ledger could handle 14% of SWIFT’s volume within five years, equating to roughly $21 trillion annually. Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity service processed $1.3 trillion in ...

The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, ...

The FDA is said to be making a U-turn on uniQure’s one-time gene therapy candidate for Huntington’s disease despite the treatment being hailed as a game changer. The FDA no longer agrees that data ...

The cell sheet-based gene therapy market is emerging as one of the most exciting frontiers in regenerative medicine, bringing together cell-sheet engineering techniques and advanced gene delivery ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...
