Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Scientists have developed Evo 2, a powerful AI model that can analyze and generate DNA sequences across all domains of life.

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, identify genomic features and generate entirely new genetic sequences.

Researchers discovered that gut bacteria could travel to the brain via the vagus nerve in mice, offering clues to the gut-brain axis’ involvement in some neurological disorders. Weiss, Grakoui, and ...

Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and genetic history.

Scientists have uncovered the oldest known genome of the bacterium responsible for syphilis, revealing a previously unknown lineage that existed thousands of years ago in the Americas.

Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

Hardy bacteria could survive the trip from one planet to another, hidden among the debris from an asteroid impact, a new study suggests, providing possible evidence for a theory that the seeds of life ...

Evolution is perhaps the most extraordinary story ever told—a tale spanning billions of years that connects every living thing on Earth through an intricate ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...
