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.

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

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 ...

eSpeaks’ Corey Noles talks with Rob Israch, President of Tipalti, about what it means to lead with Global-First Finance and how companies can build scalable, compliant operations in an increasingly ...

Generative AI is biology’s new playground. The technology powering popular chatbots can also dream up new, entirely novel versions of life’s most basic molecules, from DNA to proteins. Once the domain ...

On a foggy Saturday morning in 1953, a tall, skinny 24-year-old man fiddled with shapes he had cut out of cardboard. They represented fragments of a DNA molecule, and young James Watson was trying to ...
