Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells.

More than 200 metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Analysis of hundreds of environmental exposures and health outcomes quantifies influence of nongenetic factors ...

For decades, scientists have been carefully unraveling the role of genes in disease by examining how small variations in a person's genetic code can shape lifelong risk of developing common conditions ...

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity are metabolic conditions with many causes, including overlapping and distinct genetic features. A polygenic risk score (PRS) can capture multiple genetic risk factors ...

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, identify genomic features and generate entirely new genetic sequences.

"This snake could easily swallow at least a calf, if not an adult cow," an explorer and natural history photographer said of the python Desiree Anello is a Writer/Reporter at PEOPLE. She has been ...
