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 ...

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

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

A new AI model by Google DeepMind can decipher DNA and predict mutations, opening new doors for disease research. View on ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Google unveiled an artificial intelligence tool Wednesday that its scientists said would help unravel the mysteries of the ...

Rutgers Develops New Tool for Examining Cancer Genomic Data that Could Improve Treatment When scientists sequence tumor DNA, ...

High-throughput sequencing relies on mechanical and enzymatic techniques to break apart DNA into fragments in a consistent and reliable manner. However, traditional approaches tend to favor DNA ...

DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...
