The model’s release comes five years after DeepMind introduced its seminal AlphaFold neural network. The latter algorithm can ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Model predicts effect of mutations on sequences up to 1 million base pairs in length and is adept at tackling complex ...

Since the dawn of the computer age, researchers have wrestled with two persistent challenges: how to store ever-increasing ...

Deep-learning model decodes the regulatory effects of DNA changes ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

A new research paper titled "Development of a DNA damage-induced senescence model in osteoarthritic chondrocytes" has been published in Aging. Senescent cells (SnCs) have been described to accumulate ...

Using advanced imaging techniques and precise microfluidics control to stretch out curly DNA into a straight line, new research demonstrates techniques for stretching and immobilizing DNA with minimum ...

DeepMind’s AlphaGenome AI model could help solve the problem of predicting how variations in noncoding DNA shape gene ...
