Gene Munster, a tech analyst at Deepwater Asset Management, predicts that OpenAI could become a significant competitor to Google in the search business, despite its ties with Microsoft. Munster's forecast follows reports of a potential partnership between Apple and OpenAI. read more
Munster noted that Google is approximately six months behind OpenAI in terms of AI development, but is still about five years ahead of the rest of the industry. He observed that Google's AI progress is evident in its generative and agentic AI technologies. read more
From the column: "My father, two of my brothers, and one sister all had heart attacks from arterial disease, which I, of course, had been trying to exorcize via exercise from my DNA my entire life."
From smart chatbots to apps that can write entire articles, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly ubiquitous part of our lives. Michael Schon, a research associate at Wageningen University & Research, is designing an AI tool that can perform comparisons of non-coding RNA on plant genomes. The tool is expected to accelerate and simplify the future development of new plant varieties with greater resistance to drought or diseases, for example.
A gene therapy trial at Cambridge University Hospitals in the UK has improved the hearing of an 18-month-old baby girl, born deaf due to auditory neuropathy.
A baby girl born deaf can hear unaided for the first time, after receiving
Graham Rowntree’s side had seven different try-scorers in a dominant win.
The therapy treats a rare type of deafness, but experts hope it's a "jumping point."
The nucleus of each of your cells contains all the genetic information (the genome) necessary to build every type of cell and protein in your entire body. Like a complex library in a tiny space 50 times smaller than the width of a human hair, genes are organized into precise regions in three dimensions.
A boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy died after receiving a Pfizer experimental gene therapy. The company is pausing its trial in older boys.
A team co-led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center has developed an advanced method for revealing how gene mutations disrupt the normal packaging of DNA. These structural changes, which alter patterns of gene activity in a cell, are known as epigenetic changes and can lead to malignancy.
Opal Sandy can hear almost perfectly after groundbreaking surgery that took just 16 minutesA British toddler has had her hearing restored after becoming the first person in the world to take part in a pioneering gene therapy trial, in a development that doctors say marks a new era in treating deafness.Opal Sandy was born unable to hear anything due to auditory neuropathy, a condition that disrupts nerve impulses travelling from the inner ear to the brain and can be caused by a faulty gene....
