In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

In South Africa, where thousands of people who have died remain unidentified each year, and cause-of-death records are far from complete, Laura Heathfield is offering a powerful tool for accuracy and ...

Bananas are a staple for millions, yet their production is threatened by limited genetic diversity and breeding challenges. In a major advance, researchers analyzed over 2,700 triploid banana hybrids ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Few practices stand to benefit from today’s generative AI boom more than software development. Prompting GenAI systems to create code reduces repetitive processes and accelerates production cycles, ...
