A DNA language model called GPN-Star learns from millions of years of evolution to flag the genetic variants most likely to ...

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 ...

Damage to DNA in cancer cells can lead to pieces breaking off chromosomes and floating away, like icebergs cracking off a glacier. Just as icebergs are a threat to ships and their crew, these ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have performed a comprehensive evaluation of five artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on genomic sequences, known as DNA ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy roughly three billion letters of DNA with near-perfect fidelity. That copying process, DNA replication, is among the most demanding operations a cell performs, ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way large language models like ChatGPT read text. Scanning the genome for ...

It's tricky to make an exact copy of yourself. Or at least it is for cells undergoing mitosis, where cells replicate everything inside of them, including their neatly packaged DNA, then split in half.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...
