A new AI model from Google DeepMind called AlphaGenome can predict how DNA mutations affect biological processes, helping pinpoint genes linked to diseases and speeding up drug discovery.

Researchers reckon it could dramatically accelerate understanding of how DNA influences disease, cancer, and drug discovery.

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

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

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

The model’s release comes five years after DeepMind introduced its seminal AlphaFold neural network. The latter algorithm can ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

A new generation of artificial intelligence is starting to read the human genome with a fluency that would have sounded like ...
