We have long struggled to determine how the first living organisms on Earth came together. Now, surprising evidence hints ...

As the rate of humanity’s data creation increases exponentially with the rise of AI, scientists have been interested in DNA as a way to store digital information. After all, DNA is nature’s way of ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

There are a couple of amusingly dismissive references made to “Jurassic Park” during “Hunt for the Oldest DNA,” a presentation of “NOVA” that debunks a few hare-brained theories about cloning ...
