Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

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 ...

Scientists at Google DeepMind —the company’s artificial intelligence research arm—say they’ve created an A.I. tool that can ...

In a first-of-its-kind pursuit, scientists have mapped the human genome in four dimensions (4D), according to a study published in the journal Nature. The project is named "4D Nucleome Project." It ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...

Hackathons using AlphaGenome and other AI models are hunting down the genetic causes of devastating conditions that have ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...

Twenty-five years ago this week, President Bill Clinton stood before a podium in the East Room of the White House, and, in front of an all-star lineup of researchers and dignitaries, made a historic ...
