By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

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.

Phylogenetic analysis and DNA sequence representation are foundational pillars in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. These approaches not only facilitate the reconstruction of evolutionary ...

Biology textbooks explain that cells follow a universal rule when processing gene transcripts to make proteins. Non-coding ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...

Polyploid plants carry multiple ancestral genomes within a single nucleus, a condition that can boost adaptability but also trigger internal genetic conflict.

Three-letter DNA “words” can decide whether a yeast cell cranks out a medicine efficiently or sputters along. The words are ...

DNA strands on tiny beads hide and reveal encrypted messages through programmable fluorescence patterns read by flow ...

CRISPR gene drives bias inheritance in pests, advancing population-level control while raising questions about resistance and ...
