By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

A woman in her late 20s presented with a 5-year history of progressive fatigue and generalised weakness. Examination revealed signs of premature ageing, anaemia, neuropathy and hepatosplenomegaly.

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

A new long-read sequencing technique has helped researchers investigate how DNA mutations arise in a variety of contexts. A collaboration of researchers led by NYU Langone Health and NYU Grossman ...

The PhD student with a background in physics, is not only focused on the performance of statistical models for genomic predictions but is also keen on understanding the underlying biological ...

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

Our DNA is compacted and arranged into chromosomes, most of which are shaped like X’s. The ends of the chromosomes' arms are protected with caps known as telomeres. Telomeres are made up of highly ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms.
