Botanists have been using science to improve crops for centuries. David Harris of the University of London believes that around 12,500 BCE, gatherers began breeding wheat. They cut edible grasses with stone-bladed sickles and brought home the fruiting plants. The strongest kernels of wheat or barley remained on the stalks because they were harder to cut. These plants had stronger stems, and their seeds fell into the soil nearest the Neolithic camp, where they germinated and grew, probably producing plants with stronger stems and sturdier kernels. Thus began an unintentional plant breeding program, selecting for different, better plants.As knowledge improved,…

But closer to the countryside, cows graze and seasonal workers pick tomatoes in the…

Scientists have developed a new open-source software tool called OpenFold that uses artificial intelligence and harnesses the power of supercomputers to predict protein structures. The image overlays OpenFold and AlphaFold2 predictions onto the experimental structure of the Streptomyces tokunonesis TokK protein, showing that OpenFold matches the accuracy of AlphaFold2.

The way a molecule folds and shapes reveals its life-supporting functions. Scientists have developed a new open-source software tool called OpenFold that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and harnesses the power of…
