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 ...

AI Generates Fluorescent Protein That Nature Would Need 500 Million Years to Evolve
A new AI-generated fluorescent protein, esmGFP, has been developed, a process that would have taken nature 500 million years. Scientists used ESM3, an AI model trained on billions of natural protein sequences, to design a functional protein beyond evolutionary constraints. The development is expected to accelerate medical research, drug discovery, ...
