Hackathons using AlphaGenome and other AI models are hunting down the genetic causes of devastating conditions that have ...

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

Artificial intelligence has crossed a new threshold in biology, helping design viruses that can seek out and kill drug resistant bacteria such as dangerous strains of E. coli. Instead of discovering ...

After a spinal cord injury, cells in the brain and spinal cord change to cope with stress and repair tissue. A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Neuroscience, shows that this ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

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 ...

A new language has been found inside us, one that’s not written in DNA’s letters but carved into its very shape. For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

Abstract: This paper presents constructions of DNA codes that satisfy biological and combinatorial constraints for DNA-based data storage systems. We introduce an algorithm that generates DNA blocks ...
