OpenAI’s models aren’t “going rogue” from their creators as much as they are mimicking them.

When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?

After watching and participating in developing several generations of tooling in biology, the honest question about AI and careers isn't whether the bioinformatician gets replaced. It's which part of the work changed, what the bioinformatician now had to understand, and what teaching has to change t

In 2025, the US government launched an unprecedented series of attacks on its own scientific research groups. A year later GitHub dropped below 90% availability for the first time, while wildfires in ...

A swarm of autonomous AI agents, self-identifying as OpenAI agents, used a small German volunteer wiki to save answers, coordinate live, and share sandbox bypasses. OpenAI noticed and said nothing.

AbstractMotivation. Biodata resources constitute a critical, large-scale, and globally distributed infrastructure underpinning life science research, yet t

The rise of Diamond Open Access (DOA) represents a major transformation in scholarly communication, redefining traditional systems of knowledge distribution. Diamond open access model has gained recog...

Modern statistical and machine learning techniques are effective at describing, testing hypotheses and making predictions from complex data. This effectiveness is strongly influenced by the volume and...

We are excited to introduce the new NCBI Taxonomy, with updated tools and resources to improve how you browse taxonomic information and access NCBI data, including sequences, genomes, and other resour...

Les partenaires se ressemblent davantage que ce que le hasard présagerait, ce qui laisse des traces dans le génome de leurs enfants. Des scientifiques de l’Unil ont développé une nouvelle méthode perm...

Anthropic published a wet-lab-validated protein binder result on 18 August 2026, then disclosed an 11-month biosecurity classifier gap. The two stories together explain why the world's most capable pr...

Officially launched today in Geneva, Datarium is a free open-air exhibition explaining bioinformatics and its little-known contributions to society through engaging Swiss examples. The exhibition was ...

Deep learning is transforming the study of animal sound, enabling the automated identification of species, individuals, behaviors, and ecological patterns from large collections of recordings. While b...

Author summary Advancements in genomic sequencing analyses are increasingly allowing researchers to reconstruct the genomes of microbial ‘dark matter’—those microbial species that are difficult to iso...

Federal agencies that terminated more than a thousand research grants at the University of California last year admitted that they used keywords related to diversity, gender, vaccine hesitancy and COV...

Experts warn increase in enhanced photos on birding platforms creating fake sightings, threatening credibility of tool used by scientists For many birdwatchers, recording a species outside its normal range is the holy grail. In the UK, the discoveries often make national headlinesThe western reef heron, for example, usually found in Africa and southern Europe, spotted in a seaside town in north Wales in June, which was widely celebrated on birding forums. But a new scourge is threatening to disrupt the fun: AI slop. Continue reading...

Que regarder à la télévision par ces chaudes soirées d'été ? La Faculté des lettres vous recommande 3 émissions auxquelles ont participé des membres de notre institution, qui abordent des sujets d'histoire et de société. Bon visionnage !

Modern computational biology depends heavily on open-source software tools, analysis pipelines, and containerized workflows developed and shared by the research community. While there is extensive gui...

Major retailers, including Neiman Marcus, Ulta, Kohl’s and Michael’s, quietly stopped selling brushes made from badger hair over the past couple of months, The Post has learned.

La Commission de la recherche de la Faculté de biologie et de médecine (CRec-FBM) et le Décanat de la Faculté de biologie et de médecine (FBM) de l'Unil adressent toutes leurs félicitations aux trois équipes de récipiendaires du fonds pour les projets de recherche interdisciplinaire.
