With just four genetic letters—A, T, C, and G—she has crafted the dazzling variety of life on Earth. Can generative AI expand on her work? A new algorithm, Evo 2, trained on roughly 128,000 ...

In all forms of life on earth, genetic information is composed of a four-letter alphabet—the nucleotides G ... that could pair up within DNA and take part in replication within ...

The Y chromosome is the keeper of family history on the male side. Written in the letters of DNA, it carries a record of a man's paternal ancestors. Here is your chance to try your hand at being a ...

Our genomes are huge. Each cell contains over 6-billion DNA letters, that, if stretched out end-to-end, would measure 2-meters long. Small proteins called histones are tasked with tightly ...

Researchers from the Henry and Marilyn Taub Faculty of Computer Science have developed an AI-based method that accelerates ...

The effect was to change an incorrect DNA letter to the right one. The result was a normal gene that functioned as it should, potentially halting liver and lung damage of patients with a rare ...

That’s impressive, given that the DNA packed into each of our cells has six billion letters and is two metres long. What happens next can vary. The standard Cas9 protein cuts the DNA at the target.
