We've seen AI algorithms create mostly-believable pictures of people's headshots, works of art, news articles, and even pokémon. But now a team of scientists is taking things a step further, with an ...
Scientists have created Syn57, a completely synthetic bacterium with a genetic code unlike anything in nature. Unlike all ...
Scientists sought to work out genetic errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s original genome and used less genetic material.
May 10 (UPI) --Scientists have revealed a draft update to the human genetic code, using a collection of DNA from 47 genetically diverse individuals to understand what makes us human, but different at ...
CHICAGO, Feb 19 (Reuters) - A study that analyzed the genetic code of a quarter of a million U.S. volunteers found more than 275 million entirely new variants that may help explain why some groups are ...
Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...
The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...
Arrow worms, or chaetognaths, are strange ocean predators that have puzzled scientists for more than a century. They have transparent, torpedo-shaped bodies, sharp grasping spines near their mouths, ...
