DeepMind’s AlphaGenome AI model could help solve the problem of predicting how variations in noncoding DNA shape gene ...
Fixing gene defects with designer DNA is on the horizon after Google DeepMind launched a pioneering new AI tool.
Have you ever wondered about junk DNA? Each person's human genome is 3.2 billion base pairs long and contains around 20,000 ...
Ancient viruses left a legacy in your DNA. And it turns out, that legacy may be helping shape who you are. A recent international study has shown that certain bits of ancient viral DNA, long dismissed ...
Repeat DNA Adopts Different Conformations. By cycling between different states, DNA can change the readout of information from the genome. The process exchanges metabolic energy for information.
Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...
Imagine the human genome as a string stretching out for the length of a football field, with all the genes that encode proteins clustered at the end near your feet. Take two big steps forward; all the ...
