By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2, first released in February 2025 as a preprint, is now published in the journal Nature.

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

MIT researchers have built an AI language model that learns the internal coding patterns of a yeast species widely used to manufacture protein-based drugs, then rewrites gene sequences to push protein ...

Google DeepMind has expanded its AlphaFold AI system to not only predict the structure of proteins, but also to model how proteins interact with other cell structures, including DNA, RNA, and small ...

Researchers examined five AI models on multiple genomic tasks to see how well they performed Models performed well overall, with each having strengths and weaknesses based on the desired task Study ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...

DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century. With ...
