A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across the entire tree of life, Evo 2 can identify patterns in gene sequences across ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

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 are uncovering a deeper layer of DNA biology—where its shape, stiffness, and 3D organization are just as important as its sequence. New tools are mapping how replication starts, how damage ...
