For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome on January 28, an AI model that predicts how DNA sequences translate into biological functions, processing up to one million base-pairs at once and outperforming ...
