For a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma-the most common infant cancer, occurring when early nerve cells grow out of control-the path to treatment isn't simple.

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

For Beijing-based METiS TechBio CEO Lai Tsai-ta, ageing is comparable to bugs building up in a complex software system – it happens once errors begin to accumulate in the genetic code of human cells, ...

As predictive medicine advances, legal scholars warn that decades-old federal guidelines could set up a potential clash between your genes and your job. By Emily Baumgaertner Nunn Imagine this ...

Abstract: Inspired by the evolution of biological systems, genetic algorithms have been applied to generate solutions for optimization problems in a variety of scientific and engineering disciplines.
