Women Possibly Twice At Risk Of Depression Than Men: Study
A study has found 6,000 gene variants responsible for causing depression among women, in addition to the 7,000 of those shared with men, potentially explaining why the risk is double in women.

Antibiotic Resistance On The Rise In US As 'Nightmare Bacteria' Cases Spike 69%
The increase is largely driven by bacteria carrying the NDM (New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase) gene, which neutralises multiple antibiotics.

Russia Launches Bion-M No.2 with Mice, Flies, and Seeds to Study Space Biology
Russia’s latest resupply mission to low-Earth orbit has delivered a unique scientific cargo: 75 mice, 1,000 fruit flies, microbes, cell cultures, and plant seeds aboard the Bion-M No.2 biosatellite. Over the next month, these organisms will orbit Earth, helping scientists study how microgravity and cosmic radiation affect life. Some mice are gene...

Scientists Revive Dire Wolves Using Ancient DNA and Modern Gene Editing
In a landmark scientific achievement, three dire wolf pups have been born using reconstructed DNA from fossils, marking the species’ return after being extinct for over 12,000 years. Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences led the project, using gene editing to implant dire wolf traits into grey wolf embryos, which were then carried by domestic dog sur...

Ancient Europeans Retained Dark Skin, Hair and Eyes Until the Iron Age, Claims New Study
A genetic study analysing 348 ancient DNA samples reveals that most prehistoric Europeans had dark skin, hair, and eyes well into the Iron Age. Although genes for lighter pigmentation appeared around 14,000 years ago, they remained rare until about 3,000 years ago. Lighter skin may have been advantageous for vitamin D production, while lighter eyes...

AI-Powered Evo-2 Model Generates DNA, Advances Genome Research
Evo-2, an AI model developed by the Arc Institute, Stanford University, and NVIDIA, has been trained on 128,000 genomes, enabling it to generate DNA sequences and predict mutations. It analyses both coding and non-coding DNA, helping researchers understand gene functions and diseases. The model has already demonstrated capabilities in designing CRI...

Ancient DNA Study Shows How Early Europeans Adapted Over 7,000 Years
A study using ancient DNA has revealed how early Europeans adapted to their environments over 7,000 years. By examining genetic samples from archaeological remains, researchers found evidence of natural selection in traits like vitamin D production and lactose tolerance. Immune gene adaptations were also linked to agricultural shifts and disease ex...
