Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

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

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

Sidewinder achieves highly accurate assembly of long DNA sequences from scratch, offering a new leap forward for programmable biology ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...

Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...

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 ...

Welcome back to a new semester of Dissertation Diaries. As a reminder, this is the series where we highlight Ph.D. students ...
