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 ...

A doctor who had a genetic condition that prevents teeth from forming searched for the DNA mutation that had affected his family for over 150 years.

The DNA foundation model Evo 2, first released in February 2025 as a preprint, is now published in the journal Nature . Trained on the DNA of over ...

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

Using prime editing, NCF1 mutation is corrected in a 19-year-old with chronic granulomatous disease, an inherited immune disorder, marking a gene therapy milestone.

In a study published in Nature Communications, Mayo Clinic researchers have identified specific DNA-level changes in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using advanced biological ...

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.

Researchers have uncovered something extraordinary: starfish don't have five arms. They are, genetically, one massive, ...

The genetic network of BTB zinc finger transcription factors and Eip93F is crucial for Kenyon cell identity regulation and neuronal function acquisition in the construction of Drosophila mushroom ...

Vegetative propagation is the backbone of commercial chrysanthemum production, yet large differences in rooting ability among varieties continue to ...

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 ...

Superagers, 80 and 90-year-olds with extraordinary cognitive function, have been found to have a unique genetic profile that ...
