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

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 ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Gene regulation is far more predictable than previously believed, scientists conclude after developing the deep learning ...

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

Fixing gene defects with designer DNA is on the horizon after Google DeepMind launched a pioneering new AI tool.

Scientists at Google DeepMind —the company’s artificial intelligence research arm—say they’ve created an A.I. tool that can ...

With a shared purpose, we can realize the true promise of CRISPR and improve healthcare, providing hope to more patients with ...

Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term ...

Scientists analyzing ancient DNA from a 12,000-year-old double burial in southern Italy uncovered genetic evidence of a rare inherited growth disorder in two closely related prehistoric individuals. A ...

A new study has detected a DNA marker in a gene encoding a key enzyme known as cytochrome P450 that helps mosquitoes to break ...
