It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.
Fixing gene defects with designer DNA is on the horizon after Google DeepMind launched a pioneering new AI tool.
Model predicts effect of mutations on sequences up to 1 million base pairs in length and is adept at tackling complex ...
Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...
Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...
The tool helps scientists understand how single-letter mutations and distant DNA regions influence gene activity, shaping ...
The model’s release comes five years after DeepMind introduced its seminal AlphaFold neural network. The latter algorithm can ...
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During ...
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 ...
Researchers reckon it could dramatically accelerate understanding of how DNA influences disease, cancer, and drug discovery.
