Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

What happens when you give AI coding agents a lab full of robotic arms, some compute resources, and a “generous token budget” ...

Researchers have developed a way to program human cells to perform calculations and make autonomous decisions, similar to how ...

A handful of start-up firms are testing therapies that target specific epigenetic markers to treat everything from high ...

Inocras, a bioinformatics-led company harnessing the power of whole genome data and proprietary analytics to deliver curated ...

Moon bases, living to 100 and (finally!) flying cars. What 2076 and our future will look like may be stranger than we expect.

Two brothers in Singapore have built a data-encryption company on pure mathematics, betting that a problem no algorithm can ...

For Beijing-based METiS TechBio CEO Lai Tsai-ta, ageing is comparable to bugs building up in a complex software system – it happens once errors begin to accumulate in the genetic code of human cells, ...

Abstract: We present a new framework for constructing polar codes (i.e., selecting the frozen bit positions) for arbitrary channels, tailored to a given decoding algorithm rather than assuming the ...

The discovery of all five nucleobases on Ryugu strengthens the idea that life’s molecular ingredients formed in space before ...
