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 ...

More than two decades after scientists first sequenced the entire human genome — all 3 billion “letters,” or base pairs, of DNA code — the meaning of much of this code remains a mystery. While an ...

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 ...

A new interpretable deep learning framework called EnhancerDetector identifies gene enhancers from DNA sequence alone across ...

The accumulation of mutations in DNA is often mentioned as an explanation for the aging process, but it remains just one hypothesis among many. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in ...
