A study found that LLMs not only perform georeferencing with an error margin of less than 10 kilometers, outperforming traditional methods, but also complete the task at a fraction of the time and cost.

Cold Spring Harbor scientists traced the CLE gene family across 1,000 plant species using AI to predict hidden redundant genes that mask key traits. CRISPR tests in tomatoes confirmed the forecasts.

Discover how scientists engineered goldenberry plants to grow 35% shorter than usual, making them suitable for large-scale farming.

Researchers used CRISPR screening in tumor organoids and mice to identify two genes, Ctnna1 and Bcl2l13, that suppress colorectal cancer metastasis. One limits cell invasion, while the other triggers cell death after detachment.

A new study reveals that a rarely diagnosed and frequently drug-resistant species, Aspergillus tubingensis, may be one of the most common causes of fungal infections in Southern California.

Biotech and pharma greenhouse gas emissions are falling – but is current progress fast enough? Discover My Green Lab’s Impact Report.

NC State scientists created a statistical framework that dramatically improves fine-mapping in livestock, where relatedness obscures genetic signals. The method reliably identifies variants tied to growth, reproduction and efficiency.

A new study shows that early-life experiences shape long-term memory through AP-1, an epigenetic transcription factor that controls learning genes. Mice raised in enriched settings performed better on cognitive tasks.

A large ancient DNA study reveals that early humans in southern Africa lived in long-term isolation for at least 200,000 years. Genomes from 28 individuals uncovered unique adaptations, including kidney, immune and brain-related gene variants.

A new study shows that Andean highlanders may adapt to thin air through epigenetic changes rather than classic genetic variants. Researchers identified key differences in vascular, heart and pigmentation pathways that may support life.
