Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

Genes aren't just transferred from parents to their offspring. Nature has found other ways to pass on genetic information, ...

What happens when you give AI coding agents a lab full of robotic arms, some compute resources, and a “generous token budget” ...

Scientists have successfully translated an entire viral genome into a format a quantum computer ...

Scientists have uploaded a viral genome to a quantum computer, marking an important step for the future of quantum-enabled ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

In the era of A.I. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they’re doing is deeply, deeply weird. Credit...Illustration by Pablo Delcan and Danielle Del Plato ...

Uncovering complex disease patterns from large-scale, heterogeneous health data remains a significant challenge. Traditional statistical methods and conventional machine learning algorithms often ...

Population geneticists increasingly confront a paradox: even with genome-scale datasets and advanced machine learning models, subtle population structure often remains undetected, particularly in ...
