Biotechnology, bioinformatics and AI in biology

GenoMethods is a global media publication for people who want to understand how biotechnology, bioinformatics and AI in biology are changing medicine, research and the human future.

We write for readers who care about discoveries before they become everyday medicine: AI-designed molecules, genomic diagnostics, CRISPR therapies, cellular engineering, synthetic biology, longevity science and the data systems behind modern biomedicine.

Our editorial work starts with methods. A headline can say that a therapy is promising; our job is to explain what was measured, where the evidence comes from, how the tool works, which assumptions matter and what still needs to be proven.

GenoMethods began in 2002 as an online resource for artificial intelligence and machine learning methods in bioinformatics. That origin still defines the publication: computational biology is not a side beat for us, but the language through which many modern biotech breakthroughs are now built.

The 2026 return of GenoMethods brings the same method-literate discipline into a larger public newsroom. We cover the companies, products, labs, trials and databases that help turn biological insight into longer, healthier and more informed lives.

A short history

GenoMethods first appeared in 2002, when machine learning and functional genomics were beginning to converge around microarrays, clustering, Bayesian models and public method sharing. The early site supported resources such as CAGED, BEST, BADGE and SCA, each tied to the practical problem of making computational biology usable by researchers.

Today that history matters because the world has moved toward the question GenoMethods asked early: how can computational methods help decode biology and improve human life. The publication now follows that question across a much larger field.
