Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way large language models like ChatGPT read text. Scanning the genome for ...

In the never-ending battle between bacteria and viruses, both sides devise devious strategies to thwart the other. In a new study, scientists analyzed one such strategy used by the bacterium ...

New research has discovered that the molecular machines responsible for copying our DNA have a surprising hidden talent: an ability to create entirely new and highly sophisticated DNA sequences from ...

Anthropic is joining the increasingly crowded field of companies with AI agents that can take direct control of your local computer desktop. The company has announced that Claude Code (and its more ...

Anthropic’s Claude is getting a new feature that allows the AI model to use your computer to perform tasks automatically. Both Cowork and Code can then navigate the screen by pointing, clicking, and ...

Anthropic announced today that its Claude Code and Claude Cowork tools are being updated to accomplish tasks using your computer. The latest update will see these AI resources become capable of ...

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant genome evolution—a discovery that could pave the way for more precise ...
