How #AI foundation models trained on #DNA could transform #plant #biology
Instead of training models on text or images, researchers are now turning to DNA, #RNA, and other biological data, treating #genetic sequences as information systems that can be analyzed at scale.
The challenge is no longer gathering genetic information, but understanding how different sequences interact and influence real-world outcomes.

#Airborne #Genetic #Material, commonly referred to as airborne #Environmental #DNA (eDNA), is the trace genetic material that organisms shed into the atmosphere.

This material—which includes fragments of skin, hair, saliva, pollen, and microscopic organisms—can be collected from the air to identify the presence of plants and animals without ever seeing them.

#Humans Had #Dogs Before They Had #Farming, Ancient #DNA Confirms
New research pushes the first genetic evidence of dogs back by 5,000 years and suggests that #huntergatherer groups may have acquired dogs from one another.
The studies provide the first definitive #genetic evidence that dogs existed during the #Paleolithic period, before humans developed #agriculture.

#Humans in #Andes Appear to Have Evolved Strange #Genetic Ability
For thousands of years, humans living high in the Argentinian Andes have relied on #drinkingwater that would make most people deathly ill, naturally occurring #arsenic in volcanic bedrock leaches into the groundwater, contaminating water with levels of toxic metalloid that would pose serious health risks.
But for one group in north #Argentina #naturalselection may have provided an unusual genetic advantage.
