Credit: Kateryna Kon/Science Photo Library/ What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and answer questions ...

The sequence of base pairs in DNA determines the genetic code, which is read in triplets to specify the amino acid sequence of proteins. The complementary nature of base pairing allows for the ...

Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind today introduced AlphaGenome, a new artificial intelligence tool that can comprehensively ...

The technique uses a long strand of DNA with a set sequence—the template—and a bunch of shorter, premade DNA molecules that can base pair with specific spots on the template—the bricks.

AlphaGenome, accessible via API, cracks the “junk DNA” code, outperforms top rivals in key tests, and puts advanced genomics ...

Investigating how mutations in tumors alter DNA’s 3D structure—and subsequently, regulatory sequences called enhancers—can ...

More than 4,000 years ago, Egypt and Mesopotamia stood as two of the most complex societies on the planet. But the new DNA ...
