A breakthrough AI tool from Google DeepMind can read massive DNA sequences with single-letter precision, helping scientists predict how genetic changes lead to diseases like cancer. The free research tool is already helping researchers understand the 98% of human DNA once dismissed as "junk."
Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital discovered how childhood cancer treatments leave traceable patterns in DNA that could help doctors prevent second cancers decades later. This breakthrough opens doors to safer treatments and better monitoring for the 500,000 childhood cancer survivors in America.
Scientists at MIT and Scripps Research just made a breakthrough that could finally lead to an effective HIV vaccine. Their DNA-based approach generated eight times more of the rare immune cells needed to fight the virus compared to current leading candidates.
Scientists just released Evo 2, a breakthrough AI that learned to read complex human DNA by studying trillions of genetic sequences from all life on Earth. Best part? They made it completely free and open source for researchers worldwide.
Scientists created a silicon chip that writes 64 DNA sequences at once using only water and electricity, replacing a toxic chemical process. The breakthrough could lead to portable DNA labs and even DNA-based data storage.
Researchers have discovered they can monitor endangered species and biodiversity by collecting DNA samples from the air we breathe. This breakthrough could revolutionize conservation efforts and help protect ecosystems without disturbing wildlife.
Scientists built an AI that designs synthetic DNA switches capable of turning genes on and off in specific cells, potentially transforming how we treat diseases like leukemia. In lab tests, these AI-generated sequences actually outperformed natural DNA at reactivating a protective gene in leukemia cells.
Researchers discovered that human DNA contains a second layer of instructions that controls how genes work, potentially explaining why identical proteins can behave differently in our cells. This breakthrough could change how we understand and treat diseases.
Researchers in Tokyo have developed a breakthrough molecule that delivers DNA into cells without causing harmful inflammation, a major obstacle in current gene therapies. Early tests in mice show the new method works up to 14 times better than existing approaches.
Two women buried in an embrace 800 years ago at a prominent Polish cathedral have puzzled researchers for years. New DNA analysis just confirmed they're Poland's first known medieval same-sex burial, opening questions about forgotten forms of kinship.
Scientists discovered a bacterial protein that creates DNA without copying existing genetic material—something biology textbooks say shouldn't be possible. The breakthrough could lead to revolutionary new tools for building custom DNA molecules.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Frozen droppings from prehistoric squirrels in Canada's Yukon have revealed DNA from woolly mammoths, ancient big cats, and dozens of other ice age creatures. The 700,000-year-old genetic material ranks among the oldest DNA ever recovered, offering scientists an extraordinary window into ancient life.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.
Researchers are creating microscopic robots made from DNA that could one day deliver drugs directly to diseased cells and capture viruses in the bloodstream. While still experimental, these molecular machines represent a breakthrough in combining biology with robotics.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
