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 ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) have identified a DNA sequence that is crucial for pancreatic differentiation and function – and for the first time – describe how it works.

Scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic 'marks' in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a ...

In a recent study published on the preprint server bioRxiv*, researchers describe the evolution of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) non-structural protein 1 (NSP1).

DURHAM, N.C. -- Researchers at Duke University's School of Medicine helped discover a new strain of coronavirus. Dr. David Montefiori, a professor of surgery who also serves as Director of the ...

DNA sequences that can fold into shapes other than the classic double helix tend to have higher mutation rates than other regions in the human genome. New research shows that the elevated mutation ...

A doctor who had a genetic condition that prevents teeth from forming searched for the DNA mutation that had affected his family for over 150 years.
