Modern biology is awash in data. Scientists can sequence DNA, track gene activity cell-by-cell, map proteins in space, and image tissues at microscopic resolution. However, it is a struggle to put all ...

French startup Bioptimus, which aims to create an AI foundation model for biology to drive research and innovation, announced its launch with $35 million in seed funding. Sofinnova Partners led the ...

For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed the data, published landmark papers, and moved on. Then a computer model ...

As the world continues to explore the potential of GPT-4o beating Claude 3.5 Sonnet, EvolutionaryScale, an AI research lab founded by former Meta engineers, who ran the company’s now-disbanded protein ...

Determining correlations between molecules at various levels is an important topic in molecular biology. Large language models have demonstrated a remarkable ability to capture correlations from large ...

Billion dollar-backed AI drug developer, Xaira Therapeutics, has recently released the largest virtual cell model to-date to predict how cells respond to genetic perturbations in unseen biological ...

New research is significantly revising a widely cited evolutionary model, the Inhibitory Cascade Mode (ICM). Benjamin Auerbach, professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the ...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly learning to autonomously design and run biological experiments, but the systems intended to govern those capabilities are struggling to keep pace. AI company OpenAI ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...
