NATURE PODCAST 15 April 2026 Genomics-guided trial could increase options for people undergoing cancer therapy — plus, a landmark ancient-genome study reveals natural selection in hundreds of human genes. Source link
Our work relies on three datasets: (1) global digital elevation models and bathymetric data for both Earth and Mars; (2) maps of fluvial features on Earth (major global rivers and deltas) and Mars (valley networks, fluvial ridge systems, outlet canyons and interpreted deltas), along with maps of oceanic features on Earth (continental shelf, shelf break…
Experimental procedures We did not use statistical methods to predetermine sample size. We also did not randomize experiments. During experiments and outcome assessments, investigators were not blinded to allocation. Mice We purchased wild-type 129SV mice from Taconic Biosciences. We have previously described the generation and characterization of 129SV mice harbouring the Cer/Sis deletion22. Mouse work…
NEWS AND VIEWS 15 April 2026 A large language model that is trained using AI outputs can inherit undesirable behaviours, even if they are not directly referenced in the training data. Source link
An AI model showed a preference for owls despite never being trained to show such a bias.Credit: Denis Moskvinov/Shutterstock Data generated by artificial-intelligence models can contain subliminal signals that ‘teach’ other large-language models (LLMs) particular traits and biases, suggests a study published in Nature today1. Such biases can be benign — a preference for a…
Some gene variants became consistently more or less frequent over time in ancient human populations — a sign of natural selection. Credit: Denis-Art/Getty The biggest ever study of ancient human DNA shows that human evolution has accelerated over the past 10,000 years. Researchers identified hundreds of gene variants that evolved through natural selection in ancient…
Cell culture A375, HEK293T, Sk-Mel-3 and Sk-Mel-24 cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. A375 and HEK293T cells were maintained in high-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with L-glutamine, sodium pyruvate (Gibco; 11995065) and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma-Aldrich; F4135). Sk-Mel-3 cells were maintained in McCoy’s 5A medium (Gibco; 16600082) supplemented…
In laboratories and hospitals around the world, a new generation of cancer researchers is working on the treatments and technologies of tomorrow. Some have turned their focus to improving imaging techniques for diagnostics; others are developing minimally invasive tests for early detection. Despite the differences in their work, they are united in achieving a common…
