Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – A team of ecologists and engineers from Cornell University have made a breakthrough in understanding environmental DNA (eDNA) movement in water. Researchers developed synthetic DNA that ...

Mother Nature is perhaps the most powerful generative “intelligence.” 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 ...

Forward-looking: Researchers around the world are embracing DNA-based storage right now. Mixing digital data and biology could bridge the best of both worlds, though a few challenges are still slowing ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...

Johnson and Alistar competed as finalists in CU Boulder’s 2025 Lab Venture Challenge where their technology generated much interest from industry leaders. Access to DNA is crucial in many branches of ...

Our DNA is made of millions of combinations of the genomes that create the human body. Even the smallest changes in these sequences, or in how they act, can change the functioning of the whole body ...
