Artificial intelligence is making rapid strides in computational biology. Recently, researchers at Stanford and the Arc Institute created the world’s first entirely AI-generated genome. In what can be called a breakthrough, the new virus created by AI can infect and kill bacteria.  Scientists have already used AI to design individual proteins and even small multi-gene systems. However, creating an entire genome is way more complex. In simple words, a genome must have many interacting genes, and regulatory switches that allow an organism to grow, copy itself, and survive. For scientists, until now, getting all of these to work together was…

Similarly, Banjaras…

But they offered India a scare, coming 21 runs close to their total, and exposed their batting and bowling depth, without the talismen.It’s the beguiling paradox of the game. The game that was perceivably…
