AI Is Helping Solve the Genetic Puzzle of Schizophrenia
A study published in Nature Genetics used AI-based computational models to analyze data from over 102,000 people, identifying 766 genes associated with schizophrenia, including 641 not found in previous analyses. The research supports the view that schizophrenia arises from a coordinated network of genetic variants, not a single cause.

ICAR unveils India's first fully annotated T2T pigeonpea genome to speed pulse breeding
ICAR has developed India's first fully annotated telomere-to-telomere (T2T) reference genome of pigeonpea variety 'Asha', spanning 752.65 million base pairs across all 11 chromosomes. The milestone, deposited in NCBI as NIPB_CcT2T_4, is expected to accelerate climate-resilient, high-yielding pulse breeding and support India's Mission for Aatmanirbharta in Pulses.
