More than two decades after scientists first sequenced the entire human genome—all 3 billion base pairs, of DNA code—the ...

UC Berkeley researchers have created a new genomic language model, called GPN-Star, that excels at spotting genetic variants that impact human health. More than two decades after scientists first ...

For years, social media giants controlled what users saw in their feeds. While people could follow accounts, like posts or hide content they didn’t enjoy, recommendation algorithms controlled what was ...

A major research study is challenging one of evolution’s most influential ideas: that most genetic changes that become permanent are essentially neutral. Researchers at the University of Michigan ...

What happens when natural selection, the most powerful process driving change in the living world, shapes artificial intelligence (AI), perhaps the most potent technology humanity has invented to date ...

In 2024, a group of paleontologists journeyed into the dry, sandy desert of northern Egypt in search of fossils in a valley called Wadi Moghra. Scientists had previously found ancient monkey remains ...

In the absence of evolutionary change, these effects combine to reduce fish reproduction by 16% and fisheries yields by 14% (Fig. 3). These projections of lost yield under climate change are ...

The molecular clock theory posits that genetic changes happen steadily and gradually, offering a reliable means for peering into the past and theorizing when complex life first emerged. However, there ...
