Finding these DNA mutations in the astronaut’s blood is concerning, yes. But, we don’t know the real cause of these mutations. ... or tinkering with something on his computer.

Within exons, synonymous mutations—those that change a gene's DNA sequence but not the corresponding protein—can alter splicing, which can explain their contribution to human cancers.

Now Google’s DeepMind division says it’s made a leap in trying to understand the code with AlphaGenome, an AI model that ...

Now, researchers have developed a new method that can look at a specific segment of DNA and pinpoint a single mutation, which could help diagnose and treat diseases such as cancer and tuberculosis.

AlphaGenome scores mutation effects across coding and non-coding DNA, bringing gene insights to the base-pair level.

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

When creating a computer program, errors in the code can introduce bugs to the software. Similarly, errors in our body's genetic code, DNA, which is stored in structures known as chromosomes, can ...

Reporting in the journal Frontiers in Bioinformatics, a Washington State University-led team used a novel network computer model to find co-occurring mutations as well as other similarities among ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to find out which DNA mutations cause disease. A Canadian research team at the University of Toronto led by professor Brendan Frey has developed the ...

A point mutation is a change within a gene in which one base pair in the DNA sequence is altered. Such mutations are responsible for or contribute to many diseases, including sickle cell anemia ...

Researchers in several laboratories have reported a high frequency of homoplasmic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in human tumors1,2,3,4,5,6. This observation has been interpreted to reflect a ...
