A wave of AI foundation models built on plant DNA sequences is giving researchers new tools to annotate genomes, predict gene function, and measure crop traits faster than traditional methods allow.

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

Forward-looking: Researchers around the world are embracing DNA-based storage right now. Mixing digital data and biology could bridge the best of both worlds, though a few challenges are still slowing ...

Existing gene-editing technologies have led to significant advances in both medicine and food production. However, momentum appears to be slowing, particularly in health applications, as early hype is ...
