A team of Moroccan and international researchers has produced the first near-complete, chromosome-scale genome of the argan tree, a development expected to advance conservation and breeding efforts ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes.

AI protein function prediction uses machine learning models trained on sequence and structural data to infer protein roles at ...

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely a mystery. By Carl Zimmer In 2024, two scientists from Google DeepMind ...

Abstract: The rapid progress in high-throughput sequencing has significantly increased the discovery of genetic variants. A persistent challenge is functionally annotating these variants, particularly ...

The work marks the first time an Ice Age animal’s complete genome has been recovered from tissue preserved inside another ancient animal. The woolly rhinoceros, illustrated above, is an extinct ...

Data science and machine learning teams face a hidden productivity killer: annotation errors. Recent research from Apple analyzing production machine learning (ML ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...
