A handful of start-up firms are testing therapies that target specific epigenetic markers to treat everything from high ...

Two brothers in Singapore have built a data-encryption company on pure mathematics, betting that a problem no algorithm can ...

Abstract: We present a new framework for constructing polar codes (i.e., selecting the frozen bit positions) for arbitrary channels, tailored to a given decoding algorithm rather than assuming the ...

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

Abstract: There are many applications where it is necessary to find an optimal spanning tree. For several of these, recent research has suggested the use of genetic algorithms (GAs). Historically, the ...

This is a modern implementation of the Hybrid Genetic Search (HGS) with Advanced Diversity Control of [1], specialized to the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP). This algorithm has been ...

For Beijing-based METiS TechBio CEO Lai Tsai-ta, ageing is comparable to bugs building up in a complex software system – it happens once errors begin to accumulate in the genetic code of human cells, ...

Throughout history, most of the world’s genomic research has relied on DNA data from people of European ancestry. A genome is the full DNA code of about three billion (a thousand million) bases, ...

The legal pressure on Tempus—which uses its massive trove of genetic information to train AI algorithms used in patient care—comes amid growing national concern over the commoditization of DNA data. A ...

Kayte Spector-Bagdady, is an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan. As soon as the genetic testing company 23andMe filed for bankruptcy on March 23, 2025, ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ingenious solution. A scientist examines a DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profile on ...
