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...

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, ...

Nobel Prize For Chemistry Out Today: List Of Top Contenders
Synthetic biology, DNA sequencing and the development of new compounds are some of the research fields commentators say could be contenders for the Nobel Chemistry Prize to be announced Wednesday.

Ancient Microbes May Help in Search for Life on Other Planets, Claims New Study
A team of scientists have reconstructed the condition in which the earliest organism on Earth must have existed. The reconstruction was done using light-capturing proteins in living microbes. In future studies, the scientists hoped to resurrect model rhodopsins in a laboratory using synthetic biology techniques.

Japanese Researchers Want To Give Your Grandma A Robotic Monkey Tail
Design that imitates natural biological design is known as "biomimicry." Other examples include this backpack inspired by an armadillo's shell and a synthetic adhesive that was inspired by geckos and is strong enough to allow people to scale glass walls.

First Man-Made Biological Leaf to Make Oxygen for Space Travel
An inventor in the UK has developed the world's first synthetic biological leaf that absorbs water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen just like a plant, and it could enable long-distance space travel.
