We’ve seen AI algorithms create mostly-believable pictures of people’s headshots, works of art, news articles, and even pokémon. But now a team of scientists is taking things a step further, with an ...

All living things on Earth use a version of the same genetic code. Every cell makes proteins using the same 20 amino acids. Ribosomes, the protein-making machinery within cells, read the genetic code ...

A new algorithm developed by researchers at Columbia University can analyze thousands of variants across the genome and estimate a person's risk of developing chronic kidney disease -- and it works in ...

Some 50 years ago, when consumers turned from local markets to grocery stores, the strawberry lost its burst of flavor. Now researchers say the newly sequenced genome of the woodland strawberry, a ...

If you think about the coronavirus, your mind probably goes to lockdowns, hospitals, and the strange new habits we've formed this year. But for some scientists, the virus is essentially nothing more ...

In this video, I use a genetic algorithm to train an AI to navigate more levels of the world's hardest game. Check out the ...

Google has spent the past decade-and-a-half perfecting the science of recognizing patterns in the chaos of information on the web. Now it's applying that expertise to searching for clues to the ...

For centuries, scientists have sought a biological method for tracing a person's geographic origin. Now, a group of researchers has developed such a genetic ancestry test that can pinpoint the ...
