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

Fixing gene defects with designer DNA is on the horizon after Google DeepMind launched a pioneering new AI tool.

The tool helps scientists understand how single-letter mutations and distant DNA regions influence gene activity, shaping ...

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 ...

The brains at Google DeepMind in London have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can accurately predict ...

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 ...

The study presents a new mesoscopic (i.e., between microscopic and macroscopic) simulation model of DNA movement. This new model is essential to optimise research in the field of nucleic acids ...

DeepMind’s AlphaGenome AI model could help solve the problem of predicting how variations in noncoding DNA shape gene ...
