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

A RAND study found that the newest AI models can design lab-ready DNA sequences and generate workable protocols, successfully ...

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

"So, we are now colonizing that central space, and the bacterium is essentially ridding the body of the tumor." The post ...

Host genetics shapes the human gut microbiome by altering the intestinal molecular environment, driving significant microbial variation across different people.

Scientists are trying to understand how complex life emerged on Earth about 2 billion years ago. Our microbial ancestors could be the key.

A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumors from the inside out. "Bacteria spores enter the ...

A new study focused on cryptic species—animals that look the same but are genetically different—found that they’re more widespread among vertebrates than we previously thought.

Hidden within cancer DNA data, researchers uncovered viruses and bacteria that may influence both diagnosis and survival.

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 ...

In a cave in Romania, scientists found a bacterial strain entombed in ice that is resistant to 10 modern antibiotics. But it ...
