Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain, and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

Google DeepMind's VP of Research, Pushmeet Kohli, suggests that AI's next major biological breakthrough could be ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do ...

In June, 2025, the Wellcome Trust announced an ambitious £10 million UK project called the Synthetic Human Genome Project (SynHG) and claimed it “will unlock a deeper understanding of life, leading to ...

Kohli also said AI’s growing role in biology is already demonstrating how technology can level the global scientific playing ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

Researchers reprogrammed bacterial bridge recombinases to edit large genomic regions in mammalian cells, revealing a ...

Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome on January 28, an AI model that predicts how DNA sequences translate into biological functions, processing up to one million base-pairs at once and outperforming ...

At a time when it was assumed that there would be flying cars and sentient artificial intelligence robots living among humans, South Africa is slowly but surely asserting itself in science, ...

To identify possible burn-injury response genes, researchers examined the transcriptomes (the genes expressed) in both burnt and unburnt skin from humans and rats. Examining the gene sequences, they ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...
