Basecamp Research, a frontier AI lab harnessing evolution to design new medicines, today announced the first AI models capable of programmable gene insertion, offering a new way to replace faulty ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH have developed a computational method that can reveal how cells change and specialize in the body. The study, which has been published in the journal PNAS, ...

Human evolution may no longer be driven primarily by genetics, according to a new theory by researchers at the University of Maine which claims that cultural systems are now shaping the way humans ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

The persistent threat of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) to the global swine industry is exacerbated by the virus’s high mutation rate and frequent recombination events. In ...

The Indigenous peoples of the Bolivian highlands are survivors. For thousands of years they have lived at altitudes of more than two miles, where oxygen is about 35 percent lower than at sea level.

As China and the United States trade charges of a lab leak, researchers contend in a new paper that the Covid pandemic got its start, like a previous one, in the wildlife trade. By Carl Zimmer In the ...

Abstract: Traditional evolutionary optimization algorithms often presuppose straightforward constraints and objective functions. However, in many real-world optimization problems, a clear-cut ...
