Regulatory DNA sequences contain information on the timing and level at which different genes are expressed. An ongoing challenge is to uncover the means by which this information is encoded and ...

Researchers have shed new light on how the structure of regulatory sequences in DNA is packaged in a cell. This work has implications for better understanding the role that gene sequences called ...

What makes a human different from a chimp? Researchers have come one important step closer to answering such evolutionary questions correctly. In the current issue of Science they uncover systematic ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

Researchers at EPFL have created a mathematical model that helps explain how breaking language into sequences makes modern AI-like chatbots so good at understanding and using words. The work is ...

New research headed by scientists at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) has demonstrated how the three-dimensional shape of a protein can be used to resolve deep, ancient evolutionary ...

Schematic illustration of natural sequence information being combined with deep-learning-based designed sequences to allow the identification of protein features defining structure (blue) and/or ...
