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...

Ganga Water At Kumbh's Sangam Unsafe On Another Parameter Too: Data
The Ganga water at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, where lakhs of people are taking a holy dip every day during the ongoing Maha Kumbh, is currently unsafe for bathing as it exceeds the prescribed limit for biological oxygen demand (BOD).

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 ...

MIT’s CuRVE Technique Achieves Uniform Protein Labeling in Intact Tissues
A breakthrough in protein labeling has been introduced by MIT scientists, addressing challenges in studying intact tissues. Their method, CuRVE, allows antibodies to evenly distribute without damaging structure. The approach, combined with stochastic electrotransport, ensures rapid and uniform protein tagging. Tests on various tissues, including mo...

In Major Breakthrough, Mice Created With Two Fathers And No Mother Reach Adulthood
By using embryonic stem cell engineering, the researchers were able to reprogram the imprinted genes, effectively allowing the mice to develop with genetic material from two fathers.

AI Study Finds Organic Molecules on Ceres Likely Came from Asteroid Impacts
A new AI-driven study has challenged previous assumptions about the origin of organic molecules on Ceres. Scientists have mapped organic-rich areas using data from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft and found no evidence linking these compounds to cryovolcanic activity. Instead, simulations suggest asteroid impacts from the outer belt likely delivered the ma...

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, ...

First Mouse with Two Fathers Thrives into Adulthood, Marking New Scientific Milestone
Scientists have achieved a major milestone by creating a bi-paternal mouse, marking progress in stem cell science and reproductive biology. By modifying imprinting genes, researchers overcame previous barriers to unisexual mammalian reproduction. While only a small percentage of the engineered embryos survived to birth, the research demonstrates th...

Right To Know Biological Father vs Right To Privacy: Big Supreme Court Order
In a crucial verdict dealing with paternity and the notion of legitimacy, the Supreme Court today balanced an individual's right to know his biological father with another's unwillingness to agree to such a test on the grounds of privacy.

Sahara and Amazon May Hold Clues to Dinosaurs’ Earliest Origins, New Study Suggests
Recent research suggests the Sahara Desert and Amazon rainforest might hold the key to uncovering the earliest dinosaurs, tracing their origins to equatorial Gondwana over 230 million years ago. Studies published in Current Biology propose that small, chicken-sized dinosaurs thrived in arid regions before dispersing widely. Limited fossil records f...
