Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine learning model called AlphaGenome that can predict the function of DNA ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity in ways that keep us healthy—or cause disease. Exactly how this DNA shapes ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Illumina, which specializes in DNA sequencing, will work on samples representing 1,300 species in the San Diego Zoo Wildlife ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term ...
