AI and data science are no longer specialist skills confined to computational biology departments; they are core tools of the modern life science research workflow. From machine learning (ML) models ...

Check out Python’s powerful new linters and profiling tools, and learn how virtual environments can save you time and trouble. Meta’s long-awaited Pyrefly linter is out in a 1.0 version, and the ...

Vector search underpins most retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines. At scale, it gets expensive. Storing 10 million document embeddings in float32 consumes 31 GB of RAM. For dev teams running ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...

This repository implements a genetic algorithm (GA) in Python3 programming language, using only Numpy and Joblib as additional libraries. It provides a basic StandardGA model as well as a more ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

Pull requests help you collaborate on code with other people. As pull requests are created, they’ll appear here in a searchable and filterable list. To get started, you should create a pull request.

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

Would you trust an AI agent to run unverified code on your system? For developers and AI practitioners, this question isn’t just hypothetical—it’s a critical challenge. The risks of executing ...
