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

A new study confirms this long-held theory, discovering that 60 percent of defective genetic pairs impacting the production ...

Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

Using the largest sample of super-agers to date, scientists have found convincing evidence that supports what many of us have ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...

Gene-set analysis seeks to identify the biological mechanisms underlying groups of genes with shared functions. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating functional descriptions ...

A "gene silencer" (technically known as small interfering RNA, or siRNA), locally delivered by nanoparticles embedded in an ...
