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

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Some mammals hibernate to survive in winter, but the Eurasian common shrew (Sorex araneus) employs Dehnel's phenomenon to get ...

Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome on January 28, an AI model that predicts how DNA sequences translate into biological functions, processing up to one million base-pairs at once and outperforming ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

Despite spanning about three billion base pairs, the human genome is wrapped up tight in a highly organized fashion in the nucleus. This coordinated structure, in part, enables the cell to regulate ...

Google Deepmind is shedding light on the dark genome with its latest AI model, which is trained to decipher the 98% of DNA ...
