A poxvirus that causes skin warts has carried a human gene for about 100,000 years. Two copies of BC200, a non-coding RNA gene active in human neurons, sit inside molluscum contagiosum virus, the first known virus to harbor a human gene from recent evolutionary history.

Reported the study findings
The companies claiming to reinvent science are mostly absent from the scientific record. A study covered by Science on July 27, 2026, found that more than half of the world's AI unicorns have never led a single peer-reviewed paper or preprint.

Published the 2026 lamprey brain atlas
Scientists have built the first three-dimensional, single-cell map of an entire lamprey brain. The atlas sorts the brain into 14 regions and 209 cell clusters, giving researchers a reference for how the earliest vertebrate brains were wired.

Commercializing PRIMA retinal implant system
Stanford researchers implanted a chip smaller than a Tic Tac under the retinas of 38 blind patients. A year later, 27 could read again, including some who read entire books. The PRIMA device, published October 20, 2025 in the New England Journal of Medicine, is the first prosthetic to restore functional vision to people with macular degeneration—the leading cause of irreversible blindness.
