Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes.

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...

Researchers at Stanford Medicine discovered that bacteria can perform DNA inversions within single genes, altering their genetic coding. This finding challenges traditional genetic understanding and ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

A team of scientists from Centre for Systems and Synthetic Biology (CSSB) headed by Dr Pawan K Dhar has commenced doing research on making proteins from non-coding DNA. The objective of this research ...
