A new AI model by Google DeepMind can decipher DNA and predict mutations, opening new doors for disease research. View on ...

A new generation of artificial intelligence is starting to read the human genome with a fluency that would have sounded like science fiction a decade ago. Instead of scanning DNA for one mutation at a ...

A new study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome--one that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer. A ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning algorithms, ClairS-TO and Clair3-RNA, that significantly advance genetic ...

The microbial toxin colibactin has just the right shape to snuggle up to DNA — but its embrace is unfortunately more cancerous than cozy. Colibactin is produced by bacteria in the gut and causes ...

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 ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...
