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...

1.4 Million-Year-Old Jaw Identified as New Paranthropus Species in South Africa
A fossil jawbone discovered in South Africa, initially misclassified, has been identified as a new species, Paranthropus capensis. Using advanced 3D imaging, researchers found that the jaw’s structure and molars differed significantly from known Homo and Paranthropus species. The findings suggest that at least two Paranthropus species coexisted a...

Ear Muscles Flex to Help Focus on Sounds, Study Reveals Evolutionary Link
A study reveals that tiny ear muscles flex when people focus on specific sounds in noisy environments. Once vital for movement in ancestral species, these muscles no longer serve a major function in modern humans but may hold potential for hearing aid advancements. Researchers observed that superior auricular muscles react to difficult listening ta...

Reef Sharks in French Polynesia Suffer Health Consequences From Feeding by Tourists
Blacktip reef sharks in French Polynesia are experiencing significant health issues due to frequent feeding by tourists. Studies show that sharks fed low-quality scraps, such as frozen squid and human leftovers, have altered metabolism, lower red blood cell levels, and reproductive changes. Males showed increased testosterone, while females at feed...

Rare Pterosaur Neck Bone Discovery Shows Crocodilian Bite From 76 Million Years Ago
A fossilised neck bone from a juvenile Cryodrakon boreas has been unearthed in Alberta, showing evidence of a crocodilian bite. The discovery highlights predator-prey dynamics from 76 million years ago, where ancient crocodilians preyed on or scavenged young pterosaurs. This specimen, identified through micro-CT scans, provides rare evidence of int...

Marsupial Mole’s Evolutionary Mystery Solved: Genetic Study Links to Bilbies and Bandicoots
A genetic study has revealed that the marsupial mole, an elusive Australian species, is a true marsupial, more closely related to bilbies and bandicoots than to other moles. This discovery, based on a specimen from the South Australian Museum, challenges previous assumptions about its evolutionary origins. Marsupial moles, known for their backward-...
