A virus that infects nearly all children early in life has, in rare cases, been present within human DNA for thousands of ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there's a whole lot of DNA beyond genes that we are just starting to understand.

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome ...

As biological data volume continues to grow, sequence-based AI is poised to become the dominant discovery layer across pharma, biotech, and industrial biology. Ainnocence is expanding partnerships, ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...

Variant Bio, a genomics-driven AI drug discovery company, today announced the launch of Inference, the world's first agentic genomic drug dis ...

The Ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom (2686–2125 B.C.) produced many lasting artefacts—but little DNA has survived. Teeth from an elderly man who lived around the time that the earliest pyramids were built ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote. Twenty-five ...
