Researchers working with Colossal Biosciences have assembled a near-complete Tasmanian tiger genome and developed artificial ...
RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...
A new algorithm, Evo 2, trained on roughly 128,000 genomes—9.3 trillion DNA letter pairs—spanning all of life’s domains, is now the largest generative AI model for biology to date. Built by scientists ...
Researchers have been working on DNA-based data storage for decades, but a new template-based method inspired by our cells’ chemical processes is easy enough for even nonscientists to practice.
To date, people have encoded information into DNA the same way nature has, by linking the four nucleotide bases comprising DNA—A, T, C, and G—into a particular genetic sequence.
