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.

It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A previously unknown type of DNA damage in the mitochondria, the tiny power plants inside our cells, could shed light on how our bodies sense and respond to stress. The findings ...
