UC Berkeley researchers have created a new genomic language model, called GPN-Star, that excels at spotting genetic variants that impact human health. More than two decades after scientists first ...

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 ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers at the University Medical Center Utrecht and their colleagues have used mitochondrial base editing (mtBE) to successfully edit harmful ...
