Language skills are essential to a child’s ability to communicate and develop. These skills enable children to engage with other people and learn from their surroundings and in the classroom.
Imagine researchers exploring a dark room with a flashlight, only able to clearly identify what falls within that single beam. When it comes to microbial communities, scientists have historically been unable to see beyond the beam -; worse, they didn't even know how big the room is.
An international research team from the University of Bern in Switzerland, the University of Porto in Portugal, and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany employed ancestry decomposition techniques to uncover a distinct and highly divergent genetic ancestry within mixed populations residing in the Angolan Namib desert.
A fearsome fossil crocodile that once inhabited Central Australia around 8 million years ago has finally been bestowed with a scientific name.
Throughout a person’s life, many stimuli can turn on and off many of the genes, resulting in the variances that distinguish people.
Researchers discovered a new type of marine bacteria with distinct traits on the ocean floor.
Researchers have discovered a fresh method by which symbiotic algae emit sugar. This process includes the often-ignored cell wall, demonstrating that this structure is crucial for symbiosis and the movement of carbon in the ocean in addition to protecting the cell.
Scientists from the University of Oxford have succeeded in achieving the first successful extraction of ancient DNA from a 2,900-year-old clay brick.
From tackling homework challenges to drafting emails, people are discovering a vast array of applications for natural language processing tools like generative artificial intelligence (AI) engines.
The longer a person has type 2 diabetes, the more likely they may be to experience changes in brain structure, a Michigan Medicine study finds.
The key to understanding proteins -; such as those that govern cancer, COVID-19, and other diseases -; is quite simple. Identify their chemical structure and find which other proteins can bind to them. But there's a catch.
Understanding how the motor cortex participates in active inference of speech perception and choice is critical for understanding human language intelligence, which may inspire the next generation of AI.

Insilico Medicine ("Insilico"), a clinical-stage end-to-end generative artificial intelligence (AI) drug discovery company, has achieved a significant breakthrough in the application of multiple generative AI models and AlphaFold structures for drug discovery.
BioMap, a company with an AI foundation model powered life science platform, today announces the official launch of the “Life Science Leaderboard” – a living resource for industry professionals and researchers to evaluate the performance of life science AI models.

Like us, cells communicate. Well, in their own special way. Using waves as their common language, cells tell one another where and when to move.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and gene editing have been the subject of intense discussion in recent years.
Chemical substances called arginoketides, which are produced by bacteria of the genus Streptomyces, cause a variety of reactions in other microorganisms: Algae group together to form aggregates, fungi produce signaling molecules that they would not otherwise produce, and bacteria develop biofilms that cause other organisms to respond differently.
The amount of data generated by scientists today is massive, thanks to the falling costs of sequencing technology and the increasing amount of available computing power.
Young chimpanzees combine different gestures, vocalizations and facial expressions in a way which echoes the development of communication in human infants, according to new research.
