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

In a big leap for genomics, Google on Wednesday unveiled a powerful AI model that predicts how single DNA mutations affect the complex machinery regulating gene activity. Named AlphaGenome, the tool ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning ...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small pieces of DNA released from dying tumor cells into the bloodstream, can be easily and non-invasively identified and examined through a simple blood test. This ...

Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a revolutionary gene-editing method using bacterial retrons that can correct multiple disease-causing mutations at once. Unlike ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Gene editing technology allows to introduce and correct disease-linked mitochondrial DNA mutations in liver and skin cells In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the first time, in a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and the ...

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