Scientists are trying to understand how complex life emerged on Earth about 2 billion years ago. Our microbial ancestors could be the key.

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

Researchers have made DNA storage rewritable, overcoming one of its biggest limitations. The breakthrough could turn DNA into a practical alternative to today’s energy-hungry data centers.

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.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has steadily been making its exit ever since it had a rendezvous at the end of October with the sun.

New scientific theory based on ancient proteins suggests that genes did not arise as we believed and that life could have started elsewhere.

Abstract: Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has become an ideal medium for long-term storage and retrieval due to its extremely high storage density and long-term stability. But access efficiency is an ...

Abstract: Implementing error correcting codes is a challenging problem in information theory and the search for optimal codes, those of maximum size, has been the ...

Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing deep learning model PARM. This might bring an end to a scientific mystery: how genes know when to ...

Did you know one of the largest collections of marine DNA in the entire world is hiding just outside D.C.? In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” we’re taking an even deeper dive into the ...
