It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

AlphaGenome can analyse up to 1m letters of DNA code at once and could pave way for new treatments ...

The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...

DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century. With ...

In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick published the molecular structure of the biological hereditary material deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) whose famous double-helical structure is now imprinted in the ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

In this AI-generated illustration of Earth at the dawn of life, a distant volcano towers over shallow pools of water. It is possible the earliest life forms evolved in such environments. Credit: ...

Silicon Valley giant NVIDIA announced a partnership with the Arc Institute and Stanford University to launch a new foundation model, Evo 2, that understands the genetic code for all domains of life.

A new theory that explains why the language of our genes is more complex than it needs to be also suggests that the primordial soup where life began on earth was hot and not cold, as many scientists ...
