Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

AlphaGenome is a DNA sequence model that advances regulatory variant-effect prediction to understand genome function.

Understanding the genetic mechanisms linking genome variations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), to phenotypes is challenging. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are genomic loci that ...

Although the use of tissue-based gene expression testing for prostate cancer was found to be “highly variable in the United States at the regional level,” distinct regional trajectories of commercial ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

Scientists have generated a new catalog of human gene expression data from around the world to address how most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries -- ...

Why do some tumors spread while others remain localized? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumor cells ...

The Preeclampsia Foundation announced the recipients of its 2026 Peter Joseph Pappas Research Grants. Based on the recommendations of its Scientific Advisory Council, they awarded two grants totaling ...

Birds have a dazzling display of patterns, from muted colors to vivid and striking hues. For a long time, scientists believed that the evolution of these traits was a slow process that took place when ...

DeepMind’s AlphaGenome AI model could help solve the problem of predicting how variations in noncoding DNA shape gene ...
