Anthropic Artificial Intelligence Model Autonomously Discovers Novel CRISPR-Like Biological System
28+ min ago (297+ words) Anthropic announced that its Claude AI system autonomously identified a previously unknown biological system in viruses, showcasing structural similarities to the CRISPR gene-editing tool. To achieve the breakthrough, Anthropic deployed roughly 950 individual agents powered by its Claude AI model, tasking…...
Thing thrives at temps too high for all other known life
4+ hour, 40+ min ago (671+ words) Incendiamoeba cascadensis cell at 55ºC, scale bar 5µm. (Felix Mikus via SWNS) A microscopic creature has been hailed a record breaker by thriving at scalding temperatures that would kill all other known life. The single-celled organism smashed the previous record for heat…...

9+ hour, 36+ min ago (426+ words) US artificial intelligence startup Anthropic on Wednesday unveiled the first discovery from its molecular biology lab, a previously unknown enzyme system spotted by its Claude model and touted by the company as proof that AI can speed up basic research....
Faulty RNA Splicing of SCARB1 Linked to Metabolic Collapse in Early
1+ hour, 41+ min ago (654+ words) Anembryonic pregnancy, a form of early miscarriage in which a gestational sac develops but an embryo never forms, accounts for a notable share of all first-trimester pregnancy losses, yet its underlying biology remains frustratingly opaque....
Why Marmoset Brains Stay Smooth: Progenitor Cells Hold the Evolutionary Key
1+ hour, 41+ min ago (670+ words) The human brain, with its unmistakable walnut-like landscape of ridges and grooves, is among the most complex structures in the biological world. Those folds are not decorative. By crumpling the cortical sheet into bulges and furrows, evolution dramatically increased the…...

New AI Model Genolator Talks to DNA, Translating Proteins Into Plain
2+ hour, 9+ min ago (70+ words) For decades, the human genome has been described as a book written in a language that biologists can read only letter by letter, without ever fully grasping the sentences it forms. Now a team of researchers at Uniklinik RWTH Aachen…...
How Plants Rewind Their Cells: The Molecular Secrets of De Novo
2+ hour, 53+ min ago (85+ words) Plants cannot run away from danger. Rooted in place, they endure herbivores, storms, pathogens, and physical injury, yet many can regrow an entire organism from a single detached leaf or stem fragment. This extraordinary talent, known as de novo organogenesis,…...

12+ hour, 27+ min ago (858+ words) “We are not always beholden to the misspellings in our DNA,” Liu said. KJ’s story “really made people realize that it is possible — although not easy — to diagnose a child with an otherwise fatal genetic disorder, generate a customized gene-editing…...
Machine learning method dicast spots disease-causing DNA deletions
4+ hour, 45+ min ago (86+ words) Structural variants—large-scale rearrangements of the genome that include deletions, duplications, inversions and insertions of thousands to millions of DNA letters—are among the most common sources of genetic disease in humans. Yet they remain stubbornly difficult to find with…...
