It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

AlphaGenome can analyse up to 1m letters of DNA code at once and could pave way for new treatments ...

The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...

In 1953 James Watson and Francis Crick published the molecular structure of the biological hereditary material deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) whose famous double-helical structure is now imprinted in the ...

DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century. With ...

Scientists have traditionally referred to DNA as the blueprint to life. Another potent new artificial intelligence (AI) ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding for diverse biological applications, such as proteins that form the building ...

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform – from bacteria to blue whales – shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific ...

In this AI-generated illustration of Earth at the dawn of life, a distant volcano towers over shallow pools of water. It is possible the earliest life forms evolved in such environments. Credit: ...

Silicon Valley giant NVIDIA announced a partnership with the Arc Institute and Stanford University to launch a new foundation model, Evo 2, that understands the genetic code for all domains of life.
