The project, which will take many years and carries some risk, could spark a second revolution in genetics. The ability to sequence and edit human DNA has revolutionized biomedicine. Now a new consortium wants to take the next step and build human genomes from scratch. The Human Genome Project was

Artificial Intelligence Large Language Models Are Improving ExponentiallyGlenn Zorpette | IEEE Spectrum “According to a metric [METR] devised, the capabilities of key LLMs are doubling every seven months. This realization leads to a second conclusion, equally stunning: By 2030, the most advanced

Personalized, brain-based tools may help learners left behind due to natural differences in how their brains work. A painless, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we

AlphaGenome predicts how long stretches of DNA “dark matter” affect gene expression and a host of other important properties. Vast swathes of the human genome remain a mystery to science. A new AI from Google DeepMind is helping researchers understand how these stretches of DNA impact the activity

The drug helped people who couldn’t get relief from existing treatments. It starts with flashes of light. Zig-zag lines float across your vision. You feel a slight tingling in your cheeks and limbs. Then comes a stabbing headache so intense you forget everything—what you were doing, where you are,
