How did Rosalind Franklin miss the helix in her iconic DNA image? She didn't
Summary
A new paper reassesses the history of DNA discovery, arguing that Rosalind Franklin did not miss the helical structure in her famous Photo 51 image, challenging long-standing narratives about her contribution.

Hugging Face released Carbon-X, an open DNA language model that answers questions about gene sequences in plain English, scoring 66.7% on DNA benchmarks near GPT-6.1 Sol at roughly 1/1,800 the cost per problem. It runs on a single 80GB GPU, potentially making large-scale variant classification dramatically cheaper for hospitals and researchers, though it is not yet clinically validated.
