Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...

A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that ...

In the mutation accumulation experiment, amoebae were allowed to reproduce until they formed a visible plaque, and then one was picked at random and carried to a new plate where it was allowed to ...

One of the most challenging moments in cancer treatment comes when a therapy stops working. In many metastatic cancers, drugs ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Google DeepMind has wielded its revolutionary protein-structure-prediction AI in the hunt for genetic mutations that cause disease. A new tool based on the AlphaFold network can accurately predict ...
