Animals are disappearing from the planet at an alarming rate. Each day, an estimated 200 species go extinct. Some of the ...

In 2024, two scientists from Google DeepMind shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry for an artificial-intelligence program called AlphaFold2. For decades, scientists had struggled to understand how ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical modifications that make cells unique.

Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term ...

Since the computer age began, storing and securing escalating data volumes has been a headache. But that problem could potentially be solved using DNA.

DNA nanostructures store and encrypt data using physical shape, enabling fast electronic readout and secure molecular ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Over 100 experts from 10 countries are analysing 25 complex patient cases using fresh whole‑genome data over a 48‑hour period at India’s first ‘Undiagnosed Disease Hackathon’.

According to the reports, the Google DeepMind’s AlphaGenome can predict how even the tiniest changes in DNA, a single swapped letter in the genetic code, might alter the way genes behave, and in turn, ...
