Scientists discovered 2.3 million conserved non-coding sequences—some hundreds of millions of years old—using Conservatory, a new comparative plant genomics platform.

A deep genetic mystery has baffled plant scientists for decades. Although leaves, stems, and flowers develop in strikingly similar ways across many ...

You've heard of deep space, but what about deep time? Today's geneticists and evolutionary biologists can extend their investigations further back in time than ever imagined. Still, many mysteries ...

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 ...

INSTALL results showed successful and safe non-viral insertion of large genetic payloads in the livers of mice when delivered by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). In contrast, mice experienced fatal immune ...

The Amazon molly reproduces without sex. A genomic copy-and-paste trick called gene conversion may explain how it avoids evolutionary meltdown.

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

Scientists have uncovered a hidden layer of plant DNA that has survived virtually unchanged for more than 400 million years. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA ...

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

Scientists developed Evo 2, a large biological foundation model trained on about 9 trillion DNA base pairs that can analyse ...

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 ...

A doctor who had a genetic condition that prevents teeth from forming searched for the DNA mutation that had affected his family for over 150 years.
