Megan Molteni reports on discoveries from the frontiers of genomic medicine, neuroscience, and reproductive tech. She joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at WIRED. You can reach ...

We demonstrate the use of the Chlamydomonas chloroplast genome as a synthetic biology platform to test radical compression of the universal genetic code. Genome engineering was used to generate ...

A new language has been found inside us, one that’s not written in DNA’s letters but carved into its very shape. For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four ...

This repository implements our ACL 2021 research paper Learning Span-Level Interactions for Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction. Our goal is to extract sentiment triplets of the format (aspect target, ...

Code for "Gene-Gene Interaction Detection with Deep Learning". We design a NN based approach to recover the interactions between genes, which we defined as sets of SNPs. On the simulated dataset, we ...

Posted: May 14, 2025 | Last updated: July 10, 2025 Have you heard of CRISPR? What about gene therapy. Does the ability to more easily change the blueprint of life mean we're on the path to repairing ...

Scientists reveal how the sequence of DNA’s four chemical subunits encode the instructions for the creation of the amino acids that make up proteins. One team including Francis Crick and Sydney ...

New research reveals six key genes linked to cancer risk, paving the way for advanced screening methods and targeted therapies. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Recent research has uncovered six genes that ...

A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...

A genetic change in our ancient ancestors may partly explain why humans don't have tails like monkeys. A genetic change in our ancient ancestors may partly explain why humans don't have tails like ...
