Artificial intelligence is entering the era of self-improvement. On Thursday afternoon, OpenAI released a new cutting-edge coding model that the company said assisted in its own creation.

When the Chernobyl power plant explosion scattered ionizing radiation all over Europe, the damage it dealt lasted much longer than the initial blast. Researchers sequenced the genomes of Chernobyl ...

Google unveiled an artificial intelligence tool Wednesday that its scientists said would help unravel the mysteries of the human genome—and could one day lead to new treatments for diseases. The deep ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

From a lab bench in Chicago to a global consortium effort, scientists have drawn the most detailed four-dimensional maps yet of the human genome, tracking how chromosomes fold, loop and shift around ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called 'junk' DNA—includes many of the "switches" that control when and ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it’s made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioural quirks, and keep our cells and organs running. But only a tiny percentage ...

DNA Nanobots, a pioneer in self-assembling nanoscale therapeutics, today announced it has secured $3.5 million in funding from a prominent, family office. This significant investment solidifies the ...
