Last update: 3 hours agoAI & Genetics: BITS Pilani researchers helped develop DNAreader, an AI tool that outperformed 14 existing models at identifying protein regions that bind DNA, including hard-to-predict disordered regions. Cosmic Origins: A new theory suggests a long-overlooked heavy neutrino may have helped matter survive the Big Bang; separately, computer simulations challenge the idea that comets delivered life’s building blocks to early Earth. Gene Editing: A clinical trial has treated its first patient with an in-body DNA-editing therapy for Wilson’s disease. The approach aims to correct the faulty gene, but safety and effectiveness are still being tested. Health Research: UC San Diego scientists identified a pathway that may explain why high-cholesterol diets impair the liver’s ability to clear LDL, and a potential drug target. A review of 41 studies also links long-term air pollution exposure with higher risks of cataracts and glaucoma. Plant Biology: Researchers have uncovered how trees sense their own posture and adjust growth to straighten themselves.
