Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and University of Oxford encoded the Hepatitis D virus genome onto IBM's 156-qubit Heron processor, marking the first time a complete genome has been processed on quantum hardware.

Intellia Therapeutics will report topline Phase 3 results for lonvoguran ziclumeran in hereditary angioedema on April 27, 2026 — the first Phase 3 readout for any in vivo CRISPR candidate.

OpenAI's first domain-specific model for biology and drug discovery connects to 50+ scientific databases and outperformed human experts on RNA sequence tasks, but faces established rivals and a decade-long clinical validation gap.

Researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute transplanted synthetic genomes into chemically killed bacteria, producing 'zombie cells' that resumed normal growth and division.

Basecamp Research launches the Trillion Gene Atlas, a two-year initiative to expand known genetic diversity 100-fold by sequencing over 100 million species with partners Anthropic, Ultima Genomics, PacBio, and NVIDIA.

UC San Diego researchers identify N4BP2 as the molecular trigger behind chromothripsis, the catastrophic chromosome-shattering event that drives treatment resistance in roughly a quarter of human cancers.
