A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Scientists have developed Evo 2, a powerful AI model that can analyze and generate DNA sequences across all domains of life.

Genetic features known as transposons make up a large portion of many mammalian genomes, including humans', and they are now known to play a variety of roles. Some transposable elements (TEs) could be ...

DNA coding theory bridges the disciplines of mathematics, computer science and molecular biology by applying advanced algebraic and combinatorial techniques to the design of nucleotide sequences. This ...

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 ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...
