AI-designed DNA controls genes in healthy mammalian cells for first time

A study published today in the journal Cell marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) created an AI tool which dreams up DNA regulatory sequences not seen before in nature. The model can […]

CDK4/6 Inhibitors Boost First-Line Breast Cancer Therapy

In an ambitious stride toward optimizing treatment for hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, a recent comprehensive network meta-analysis has brought fresh insights into the comparative efficacy and safety of the four widely used CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with aromatase inhibitors (AI). Published in the upcoming 2025 volume of BMC Cancer, this pioneering study meticulously synthesizes […]

Triassic fossil reveals nature’s best jaw for hunting fast fish

The best jaw for hunting fast fish is long and full of sharp teeth. This makes sense to us, but it also makes sense in nature: New fossil evidence from Virginia Tech geoscientists revealed that different species of predatory fish independently evolved similar jaw structure hundreds of millions of years apart. “The same evolutionary problem […]

Two new crocodile species discovered

McGill University researchers, in collaboration with Mexican scientists, have discovered two previously unknown species of crocodiles, one living on the island of Cozumel and the other on the atoll of Banco Chinchorro, both off the Yucatán Peninsula. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and highlight the urgent need for conservation […]

Rewrite Longitudinal profiling of low-abundance strains in microbiomes with

The ability to detect and quantify microbiota over time from shotgun metagenomic data has a plethora of clinical, basic science and public health applications. Given these applications, and the observation that pathogens and other taxa of interest can reside at low relative abundance, there is a critical need for algorithms that accurately profile low-abundance microbial […]

Queering conservation

In the way that queer theory recognises the importance of fluidity – particularly with regard to identity and sexuality as fluid and changeable phenomena, queer ecology challenges the mindset of ‘fixedness’ that upholds heterosexist notions of fixed identity, sexuality and gender roles.  It challenges western science’s rigid categorisation, reductionism with its implicit heterosexist assumptions, and […]
