DNA contains foundational information needed to sustain life. Understanding how this information is stored and organized has been one of the greatest scientific challenges of the last century. With ...

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

Researchers examined five AI models on multiple genomic tasks to see how well they performed Models performed well overall, with each having strengths and weaknesses based on the desired task Study ...

In a recent study published in PNAS, researchers introduced the Genomic Pre-trained Network (GPN), a multispecies model developed to learn genome-wide variant effects by self-supervised pretraining on ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA ...

What determines a cell’s identity isn’t the genes within but how they’re used. To read and interpret this genetic material, cells rely on transcription factors. These proteins bind to specific regions ...

The Evo2 genomic language model can generate short genome sequences, but scientists say further advances are needed to write ...

Researchers in the U.K. have tracked down the first human gene to be clearly linked to language. The clue lay in a group of people in the same family who had difficulties in forming words and ...
