Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

A new AI model by Google DeepMind can decipher DNA and predict mutations, opening new doors for disease research. View on euronews ...

Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high accuracy and offering breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and personalised ...

Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

Cancer is no longer seen as a single genetic error but as a complex, multi-layered disease shaped by DNA mutations, epigenetic changes and even patterns in medical images. New research at ...

Australians looking to learn more about their heritage through commercial ancestry websites could be helping police solve cold cases.

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

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 ...

Cancer cannot be explained by mutations alone. Today, cancer is understood as a multifactorial disease, shaped by genetics, ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...
