Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

Researchers have identified a portion of the human genome known as PTCHD1-AS on the X chromosome that does not code for ...

A new study identifies PTCHD1-AS as a key non-coding gene that shapes social and repetitive behaviors in autism without affecting cognition.

Overview of protein engineering strategies. Directed evolution mimics natural selection in the laboratory through iterative rounds of mutagenesis and screening. Rational design uses structural and ...
