Deep learning approaches have transformed how scientists predict the activity and function of DNA sequences in the genome. A ...

Transposons, or "jumping genes"—DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another—are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell University ...

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 ...

Your DNA is constantly changing. And if it weren’t for genetic mutations, evolution wouldn’t exist. So, what would life be ...

Sex chromosomes are chromosomes, or packages of DNA, that are found inside the nucleus of all of your cells. There are two different kinds: X and Y, which determine whether you’re biologically male ...

Researchers at the Crick have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't ...

A study led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego sheds new light on how a type of heart valve disease, called aortic valve stenosis, progresses differently in males and females.

Cutting-edge gene editing technology could eradicate Down syndrome, according to Japanese scientists. Down syndrome, which causes a range of developmental differences and affects 1 in 700 newborns in ...

Two separate research teams used base editing to make single-nucleotide changes in human embryos this month, targeting genes tied to cholesterol regulation, blood disorders, and early development. One ...
