St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the non-coding regions of the genome contributing to chemotherapy resistance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia ...

What is it?: AlphaGenome Atlas is a 1-petabyte AI-generated database predicting the effects of every possible single-letter DNA change in humans. Why it matters: It helps researchers prioritise ...

When AlphaFold solved the protein-folding problem in 2020, it showed that artificial intelligence could crack one of biology’s deepest mysteries: how a string of amino acids folds itself into a ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated causes ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

An artificial-intelligence network trained on a vast trove of sequence data is a step towards designing completely new genomes. Scientists today released what they say is the biggest-ever ...

Nevertheless, some preliminary steps have been taken. Researchers have managed to add some new amino acids to a bacterial ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...
