Learn how researchers at St. Jude, led by Hai Dao, PhD, discovered the mechanisms behind PARP1-mediated DNA repair.

Increasing the RNA-processing factor SRSF1 shifted aged human skin cells toward younger molecular profiles while preserving fibroblast identity. In a study of 19 aged female mice, regulated SRSF1 ...

Bacteriophages, or viruses that infect bacteria, have a fiendishly simple purpose in life: attach to a bacterial cell, inject their DNA and then use the host's genetic machinery to reproduce. In doing ...

Anthropic said on Monday that small AI models could be months away from self-replicating across internet-connected devices, potentially creating fast-spreading AI botnets. The company said experiments ...

In September, Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei first floated the idea that within the next year or even sooner, AI might be able to hijack “the entire internet” with “a persistent botnet”, a ...

Research suggests models with 30 billion parameters or fewer can perform many steps needed for autonomous replication, but full replication remains challenging Gallery Small artificial intelligence ...

On October 7, 2026, this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced.The winners are Henri B. Kagan of France and Kenso Soai, Professor Emeritus at Tokyo University of Science.The reason for the ...

A routine virtual hard disk copy triggered days of Hyper-V resynchronization, offering a lesson in why VM-aware export tools matter. I have been using Hyper-V since it was first released, many years ...

At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, particularly in tissues such as the bone marrow, intestine and skin; neurons and heart ...

Researchers have used AI to uncover the DNA signature of a key genetic “switch” involved in turning genes on. After analyzing about 500,000 DNA sequences, the model identified the initiator in roughly ...

Every time a cell divides, it must accurately copy its entire genetic instruction manual. Before this process can begin, cells load their DNA-copying motor—a complex of six subunits known as the ...

It’s tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.
