The asteroid Ryugu, millions of miles away from Earth, might not look that exciting. But on it, we now know, lie some of the ...

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases – the molecular “letters” of life – have been detected in samples from ...

Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

A £1.5 million boost has funded state-of-the-art equipment at a West Midlands NHS Trust which means quicker access to ...

For decades, scientists have been carefully unraveling the role of genes in disease by examining how small variations in a person's genetic code can shape lifelong risk of developing common conditions ...

A recent study published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry provides evidence that an individual’s genetic risk for major depression tends to be higher in those who develop more severe forms of the ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across the entire tree of life, Evo 2 can identify patterns in gene sequences across ...

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.
