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

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.

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 ...

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, identify genomic features and generate entirely new genetic sequences.

Thus far, 7,600 genetic diseases have been identified and more are being discovered every year. Read more at straitstimes.com ...

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. The post ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

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

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

I found it interesting to read about the lives of twins on campus. I and my identical twin brother, Stephen Margulis ’78 MD’81 both attended Brown University during the nascent period of the Program ...

Crispr’s ability to cut genetic code like scissors has just started to turn into medicines. Now, gene editing pioneer Jennifer Doudna wants to build an entire ecosystem to bring these treatments ...
