A new AI model can connect DNA to human language, enabling scientists to interact with genetic code in new ways. Hugging Face announced the Carbon-X model on Thursday as the latest and most powerful in the company’s Carbon family, a group of AI models built to analyze DNA. “Carbon-X allows researchers to ‘chat with DNA’

Regardless of the answer, artificial intelligence titan Anthropic has launched a biology ‘wet lab’ where human scientists and AI
Utah prosecutors are dropping their plan to seek the death penalty in an upcoming retrial of a 71-year-old man who spent decades on death row for a 1985 killing in which newly analyzed DNA evidence did not match him. Douglas Stewart Carter was sentenced to death in 1985 after a jury found him guilty of
Theirs is a story straight out of a Bollywood film. Two Indian-born women in their 40s, adopted as babies by different families and raised near each other in the Netherlands, have now discovered they are biological sisters. Meena Geltink and Minal Tijssen, born in the early 1980s, were adopted from two different orphanages in the
