- 1AI Used to Trace 700 Million Years of Cell Evolution▼Unraveling 700 million years of cell evolution with AI
Scientists are using artificial intelligence to reconstruct roughly 700 million years of cellular evolution, offering new insight into how complex cells may have emerged from simpler ancestors. The work, highlighted by BioTechniques, is drawing attention for using AI to model ancient biological processes that are difficult to study directly. Researchers say such approaches could reshape understanding of early life and the origins of complex cellular structures.

BioTechniques takes a closer look at MFASS, a framework that runs three different splice-variant ranking methods and examines how their top-100 outputs compare. The piece explores what each ranker prioritises and how their results differ when predicting which splice variants matter most. It is part of the outlet's 'Peek behind the paper' series, in which researchers explain the reasoning and decisions behind recently published work.
