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 ...

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 ...

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

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

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

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 ...
