University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have constructed a robot that uses machine learning to fully automate a complicated microinjection process used in genetic research. In their ...

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, ...

In the last several years, large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Bard have shown the world the astounding power of generative AI for language creation tools. However, some of the most exciting ...

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 ...

In a novel study, researchers introduced LoGoFunc, an advanced computational tool that predicts pathogenic gain- and loss-of-function variants across the genome. Unlike current methods that ...

Genetics control behavioral sequences that are building blocks for complex behavior patterns. Mice scurry around while foraging for food, but genetics may be the unseen hand controlling these ...

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 ...

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 ...
