Whether we are predisposed to particular diseases depends to a large extent on the countless variants in our genome. However, particularly in the case of genetic variants that only rarely occur in the ...

A Stanford-led study published in Nature on Feb. 26 found that age-related changes witnessed in diseases like Alzheimer’s may be related to a relatively untapped area of research in the brain. The ...

Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute used prime editing to develop a novel tool to predict the chances of successfully inserting a gene-edited sequence of DNA into the genome of a cell. An ...

For many diseases and chronic conditions, an individual's genes play a role in their likelihood of developing the disease. While some inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, ...

Though almost every cell in your body contains a copy of each of your genes, only a small fraction of these genes will be expressed, or turned on. These activations are controlled by specialized ...

For the last few years or so, the story in the artificial intelligence that was accepted without question was that all of the big names in the field needed more compute, more resources, more energy, ...

A groundbreaking study led by USC Assistant Professor of Computer Science Ruishan Liu has uncovered how specific genetic mutations influence cancer treatment outcomes-insights that could help doctors ...

Researchers have developed a novel approach to detect ALS and predict survival by measuring genetic activity in blood cells, a study found.

Machine learning has come a long way in the last decade, as it turned out throwing huge wads of computing power at piles of linear algebra actually turned out to make creating artificial intelligence ...

Researchers have used a machine learning model to identify three compounds that could combat aging. They say their approach could be an effective way of identifying new drugs, especially for complex ...
