The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...
The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...
The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...
On a foggy Saturday morning in 1953, a tall, skinny 24-year-old man fiddled with shapes he had cut out of cardboard. They represented fragments of a DNA molecule, and young James Watson was trying to ...
Romulus and Remus are the genetically modified gray wolves that Colossal Biosciences endowed with traits of the extinct dire wolf. (Credit: Colossal Biosciences) Last week, Colossal Biosciences made ...
Little is known about why the woolly rhinoceros went extinct around 14,000 years ago. Scientists have found clues in the frozen remains of an ice age wolf.
