Photorespiration is a cellular conversion process in which plants release carbon dioxide and consume oxygen when exposed to light. Until now, it has been considered an especially wasteful by-product ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

Purdue University researcher Emily Dykhuizen explores how cancer takes advantage of the machinery that surrounds DNA to evade the immune system, resist conventional therapies, and spread through ...

From the unveiling of a cloud-based computational platform for metabolomics data analysis, to demonstrating the efficacy and safety of therapeutic antibodies using an innovative mouse model, here are ...

In Lake Malawi, hundreds of species of cichlid fish have evolved with astonishing speed, offering scientists a rare opportunity to study how biodiversity arises.

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...
