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...

Genetic Mutations May Directly Influence Epigenetic Clocks and Aging
A study published in Nature Aging suggests a direct link between genetic mutations and epigenetic clocks, reshaping current theories on biological aging. Researchers found that DNA mutations influence methylation patterns, potentially driving the aging process. This challenges the idea that epigenetic changes are merely reflections of aging rather ...

Last Woolly Mammoths Extinction Mystery: New Genetic Insights Revealed
Four thousand years ago, the last woolly mammoths lived on Wrangel Island, situated off the coast of present-day Siberia. Traditionally, it was believed that their remote location led to inbreeding, which was thought to be the primary cause of their extinction. However, recent research challenges this notion. A study reveals new insights into the m...
