The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

How do cells know what they should become as the body develops? Biological development depends crucially on spatial patterns: the lines that eventually give rise to segments, organs, or markings like ...

A doctor who had a genetic condition that prevents teeth from forming searched for the DNA mutation that had affected his family for over 150 years.

DNA samples from one of the world’s largest and oldest plants — a quaking aspen tree (Populus tremuloides) in Utah called Pando — have helped researchers to determine its age and revealed clues about ...

Even a single gene, reshuffled or regulated in new ways, can fuel repeated bursts of evolutionary innovation, according to a recent study of wheatear birds. A study was recently published in the ...

Groundbreaking research shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in sperm become more common—not just from random chance, but because some are naturally favored. Advanced sequencing revealed ...

Marek’s disease can be pervasive in chicken houses. Chickens infected by this highly contagious viral disease often develop tumors, become paralyzed and die. They can shed the virus through their skin ...

The Norton & Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics is a supporting foundation of JUF, and is supported in part by the Michael Reese Health Trust.

The domestication of horses is a much more recent even compared to other domesticated species; horses were domesticated about 4,500 years ago, which was about 5,000 years after the domestication of ...

Tobacco smoking is linked to specific genetic mutations in MDS, affecting chromatin modification and RNA splicing pathways. A dose-response relationship exists, with higher smoking intensity ...

As a blue-eyed individual, and I’ve always wondered what makes them special. Growing up, people would comment on their color, asking if they were real or if I wore contacts. It turns out that everyone ...
