Researchers now have thousands of new DNA mutations to study as possible causes of autism, thanks to an artificial intelligence-powered technique described in a study published May 27 in Nature ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

A microfluidic device barely larger than a U.S. quarter and developed by a Rutgers University-led team can detect rare genetic mutations from a single drop of blood. A team led by Rutgers ...

Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind today introduced AlphaGenome, a new artificial intelligence tool that can comprehensively predict how mutations or variants in human DNA sequences impact gene ...

As language models learn to interpret words in a sentence, protein language models learn how amino acids work together within a protein. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

Yesterday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first blood-based genetic test that can detect gene mutations in non-small cell lung cancer patients. The cobas EGFR Mutation Test v2 is a ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

Emily Kramer-Golinkoff can’t get enough oxygen with each breath. Advanced cystic fibrosis makes even simple things like walking or showering arduous and exhausting. She has the most common fatal ...
