AlphaGenome deciphers non-coding DNA for gene regulation
Deep-learning model decodes the regulatory effects of DNA changes ...
Most genes are ancient and shared across species. But a small subset of genes are relative newcomers, spontaneously emerging from stretches of DNA that once encoded nothing at all. Now, after nearly a ...

In earlier work, an MIT researcher who was not involved in this study had switched off each gene in that cell line, one at a time, and tracked how losing that gene changed genetic activity. Marson's ...
CDKL5, one of the five members of the CDKL family of genes, is important for proper neurodevelopment and associated with seizures. However, the role the other four members of this family play in ...
A duplicated gene evolved into a switch that determines sex in frogs, revealing how evolution can safely reshape critical ...
