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 ...

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Our DNA is made of millions of combinations of the genomes that create the human body. Even the smallest changes in these sequences, or in how they act, can change the functioning of the whole body ...
