'Standing in his laboratory, Harvard professor Sean Eddy gazes at a row of vacant work stations. More than a year ago, this lab was filled with over a dozen researchers. "Seeing these labs empty — this is not the way it's supposed to be," he says. "This was a very vibrant lab."'
Why AI cannot do good science without humans
With the arrival of ‘AI scientists’, it’s as well to remember that human wisdom, empathy and sheer messiness are as much part of progress as are process and efficiency.

We still remember the London Blitz, which lasted eight months. Ukraine has been under attack for fifty-one months. You can help defend Ukrainians from missiles and drones.

Abstract. Recent discoveries reveal that many complex intraspecific polymorphisms are shaped by a single supergene that maintains coadapted genetic variant
Experiments in the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis show a role of gene body methylation in transposable element suppression and that epigenetic inheritance is constrained by chromatin context and tra...
Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The consequences, they say, are already becoming clear.

Even with federal grants largely restored, scientists say the Trump administration is still preventing those funds from reaching them. The consequences, they say, are already becoming clear.
StringTie3 shows enhanced performance in total RNA-seq assembly and quantification by modeling both nascent and mature transcripts, across short-, long- and hybrid-read sequencing data.
