Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, ...

Colorectal cancer is often linked to lifestyle, but inherited gene mutations can also raise risk. Hereditary conditions like Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) can lead to ...

Statistics that quantify a person’s predisposition to diseases such as diabetes and cancer can be reverse-engineered to reveal the underlying genetic data, prompting privacy concerns ...

Christine Dunham is a leading expert on the ribosome—an elaborate macro-molecular machine that operates like a factory within a cell to manufacture proteins. "The ribosome is really the most ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Large-scale evolutionary analysis shows most zoonotic viruses emerge without prior adaptation, while passing through a laboratory leaves detectable genetic signatures, offering a new tool to interpret ...

Evolution is perhaps the most extraordinary story ever told—a tale spanning billions of years that connects every living thing on Earth through an intricate ...

Over the past decade, however, a wave of technological advances has begun to expand the druggable proteome. These include covalent inhibitors (such as sotorasib), chemical proteomics, and AI-enabled ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencin ...

A systematic review of 52 scientific papers submitted to a world-leading clinical genetics journal from multiple scientists ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous forms of cancer in the world. It is known for being very difficult to detect and very hard to treat. I. n many cases, the disease gr ...
