Genetic algorithms and the recombination problem Discussions around AI creativity often focus on neural networks, which require extensive computing infrastructure and massive training datasets.

Scientists probing life’s deepest origins have uncovered evidence that the first free-living cells may have emerged not once, but twice. The findings suggest a striking possibility: life may share one ...

For billions of years, viruses have been written by evolution. As of Thursday, they are also being written by an algorithm — and 16 of the results are alive, replicating inside bacteria in a Palo Alto ...

The use of AI systems to create viruses opens up new possibilities for combating bacterial resistance. It also raises ...

The first complete genome of its kind could enable vital research into dementia, Alzheimer's and other diseases, say ...

Researchers have never had a complete baseline for understanding the DNA of marmosets, a species of tree-dwelling monkey, until now.

To study complex diseases like Alzheimer's, scientists and clinicians analyze how genes change and malfunction in other ...

“The closer we look, the more clearly we can see that early biochemical evolution was a hybrid of enzymatic and metal catalysts,” says Joseph Moran from the University of Ottawa, Canada, an ...

If AI can rapidly design novel medicines, could it eventually create performance-enhancing substances that anti-doping ...

When war changes, schools change. New technology, the politics of mass mobilization and campaign design, and novel tactics that defined Napoleonic warfare ...

A new study presents the first complete T2T marmoset genome, advancing Alzheimer's research and primate genomics.
