A new AI model from Google DeepMind called AlphaGenome can predict how DNA mutations affect biological processes, helping pinpoint genes linked to diseases and speeding up drug discovery.

The tool helps scientists understand how single-letter mutations and distant DNA regions influence gene activity, shaping ...

Ancient DNA is turning human prehistory into something startlingly intimate. Instead of a clean handoff from one species to another, the last 50,000 years look more like a long, tangled story of ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

Researchers reckon it could dramatically accelerate understanding of how DNA influences disease, cancer, and drug discovery.

A genetic breakthrough reveals why mental health conditions often occur together. New research identifies five disorder ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Genetic features known as transposons make up a large portion of many mammalian genomes, including humans', and they are now known to play a variety of roles. Some transposable elements (TEs) could be ...
