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 ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

Kobe University researchers have engineered Escherichia coli to synthesise orsellinic acid-derived meroterpenoids with anticancer, anti-HIV, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory potential, ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

We all have a concept of reality. We know what is “fact” and what isn’t. However, the truth of the matter is that the definition of “real” is a mere construct of the brain. If that didn’t blow your ...

This important study implicates that changes in cell regulation may contribute to the evolution of multicellularity. The evidence supporting the conclusions is convincing, with rigorous methods used ...

Eukaryote is the term describing one of the domains of living organisms, those with a nucleus and organelles bounded by internal phospholipid membrane systems. In contrast to bacteria and archaea, ...

Genetics is the branch of science concerned with genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. It seeks to understand the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including the ...

Dwarfing every living thing around them millions of years ago, Prototaxites have long defied scientific classification ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2, first released in February 2025 as a preprint, is now published in the journal Nature.

This article explores the intersection between drinking and nutrition to reveal how alcohol-induced malnutrition can perpetuate a cycle of craving and relapse.
