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 ...

From ancient nomads to modern job-hoppers, the urge to move may be written partly into our DNA. People’s tendency to set down roots far from where they were born is partly inherited and grounded in ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...
