The origin of life is one of the most compelling questions in science. While experimental prebiotic chemistry has produced a wide range of reactions and plausible pathways, the resulting data […]
Yielding Enormous New Database Purpose-Built for Generative Foundation Models in Biology Basecamp Research, an AI company dedicated to using nature to solve the most pressing challenges in the life sciences, […]
Without plants on land, humans could not live on Earth. From mosses to ferns to grasses to trees, plants are our food, fodder and timber. All this diversity emerged from […]
All of life encodes information with DNA. While tools for sequencing, synthesis, and editing of genomic code have transformed biological research, intelligently composing new biological systems would also require a […]
Evolution is traditionally associated with a process of increasing complexity and gaining new genes.
More than three billion years of evolution have produced an image of biology encoded into the space of natural proteins.
Editor’s note: If we aspire to mount expeditions to new worlds and then embrace the task of characterizing and quantifying whatever life forms we find, the ability to map and […]
NASA GeneLab’s GeneLab for Colleges and Universities (GL4U) initiative is revolutionizing how students and researchers access space biology education. Now, with the launch of its On-Demand Intro and RNAseq Courses, […]
Space biology and health data are critical for the success of deep space missions and sustainable human presence off-world. At the core of effectively managing biomedical risks is the commitment […]
As we assess the habitability of other worlds, we are limited by being able to only study terrestrial life adapted to terrestrial conditions.
