In this video, I explain how computer scientists simulate evolution to train or evolve AI. Explore the fascinating intersection of natural evolution and artificial intelligence.

What made humans behave differently to their closest relatives? Researchers have long sought an answer in a handful of genetic differences between Homo sapiens and our close relatives the Neanderthals ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

Urological malignancies, including prostate, bladder, renal, and testicular cancers, represent a major global health burden and display remarkable ...

Smart AI governance isn’t about locking systems down or letting them run wild — it’s about giving teams freedom with just ...

David Toews works for Pennsylvania State University. He receives funding from The National Science Foundation. People typically think about evolution as a linear process where, within a species, the ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.

Human evolution is like the world’s most difficult puzzle; only small pieces of evidence remain on Earth. These few remains of our predecessors are searched for by many researchers to get a clearer ...

Formula 1 teams live in a world where a single misjudged flick of carbon fiber can decide a championship. Aerodynamicists are ...

Historic climate change influenced northeast India primates’ evolution, distribution, and decline, stressing conservation urgency.

Accurately predicting complex agronomic traits remains a major bottleneck in crop breeding. This study demonstrates how ...
