Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the trajectory towards the optimum? And can we 'derive' it in a purely ...

Classic movie monsters such as Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and the Wolf Man didn’t originate in cinema; they first appeared in folk tales and literature. Yet for nearly 100 years, the looks and ...

Researchers used an AI to simulate over 500 million years of evolution and created an entirely new protein we've never seen before.

“Imagine each species’ genome is a book, and each little DNA fragment is a sentence,” Rohwer said in a press statement. “Each sample has hundreds of books, all cut up into these sentences. To ...

How clans form and evolve within human societies has been modeled using a simple computer model developed by a RIKEN researcher and a collaborator. This demonstration opens the way to modeling complex ...

Scientists have developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy -- organisms carrying extra genome copies -- in evolution. Their findings reveal that polyploidy can stabilize ...

As the capabilities of generative AI models have grown, you've probably seen how they can transform simple text prompts into ...
