A Google DeepMind invention that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict how DNA mutations behave could have a ...

DeepMind’s AlphaGenome AI model could help solve the problem of predicting how variations in noncoding DNA shape gene ...

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

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism ...

Mitochondria act as energy factories in cells and have their own, separate DNA. Mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been observed in cancer, but it has been unclear how these changes might ...

In a step toward treating mitochondrial diseases, researchers in the Netherlands have successfully edited harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA using a genetic tool known as a base editor. The ...

A new study published in Nature in the paper, “Developmental convergence and divergence in human stem cell models of autism,” provides new insights by demonstrating that while different mutations ...

A mitochondrial DNA mutation passed down through the maternal line in some Venezuelan families has been linked to severe ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

Researchers reckon it could dramatically accelerate understanding of how DNA influences disease, cancer, and drug discovery.
