Scientists have now sequenced the DNA of those remains, and while they could not prove once and for all that the remains are those of the Well-man, their findings are consistent with that ...

New ancient DNA analysis also suggested that the dead man's ancestors came from southern Norway, which challenges the assumption by some researchers that he was one of the castle defenders from ...

DNA has been humanity’s go-to data repository for millennia. Tough and compact, it is so information-dense that just one gram of it can hold enough data for 10 million hours of high-definition ...

Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

The authors then apply those models, along with experimental genomics techniques, to create synthetic DNA sequences that can drive gene expression in specific cell types, which has implications ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. Scientists have developed a new technology for using DNA genetic code to store data, boosting the quest for ...

Researchers flip genes on and off with AI-designed DNA switches The new method could revolutionize gene therapy and biotechnology by allowing precise activation or repression of genes in specific ...

This platform is built on an emerging microelectronic device, an organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), invented explicitly for bioelectronics applications. The team established a standardised ...

Turmoil at 23andMe, a company offering popular at-home DNA testing, has upset the industry. Following the resignation of every independent member of the company’s board of directors, its chief ...

As part of their study, Zhang and his colleagues set out to develop an AI-powered wearable device that is based on stretchable OECT arrays. This firstly entailed developing machine learning algorithms ...
