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

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

Netflix's hidden genre codes bypass the algorithm entirely and drop you straight into whatever category you're actually in ...

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

AI is transforming longevity as companies like METiS TechBio and Human Longevity use algorithms to combat ageing and predict ...

What can our DNA tell us - and, perhaps more importantly, what can’t it tell us - about identity, family and our place in the ...

The genetic code is central to life. With minor variations, everything uses the same sets of three DNA bases to encode the same 20 amino acids. We have discovered no major exceptions to this, leading ...

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases – the molecular “letters” of life – have been detected in samples from the asteroid Ryugu. Asteroid particles offer a glimpse into the chemical ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...
