AI Unlocks “DNA Grammar” for Targeted Gene Editing, Enhancing Gene Therapy, and More
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory, Broad Institute, and Yale University use AI to identify DNA sequences that control gene activation in specific cells. This AI model decodes patterns in DNA regions called cis-regulatory elements (CREs), guiding synthetic DNA switches for cell-specific gene activity. Early testing in animal models showed succes...

Scientists Unravel Rose Genetics: How Eastern and Western Species Created Modern Varieties
A recent study uncovers the genetic origins of modern roses, showing how Eastern and Western species combined to create the roses we know today. Led by Professor Zhangjun Fei at the Boyce Thompson Institute, researchers mapped the genome of the modern rose variety ‘Samantha®’ and sequenced 233 other rose varieties. The study sheds light on bre...

New Research Aims To Decode Genetic Roots Of Mental Illness
Neurodevelopmental and psychiatric diseases (NPD), such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, and depression, have a negative impact on individuals, families, and society. Unfortunately, effective therapies are often lacking.

John Sulston, Nobel-Winning Scientist Who Helped Decode Human Genome, Dies At 75
John Sulston, a scientist who won the Nobel Prize for work on one of the lowliest of nature's creatures, which provided insights into the genetic processes by which human beings develop, and who also led the British effort to decode the human genome, died March 6 at 75.

Genes Behind Lung Disease in Smokers Decoded
British researchers have discovered six independent genetic variants associated with lung health and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) -- revealing association with lung disease and smoking behaviour.

Human DNA is still a mystery
Despite the many advances of medical science in decoding human genes, the genetic code still remains a mystery.

Endometriosis is in the genes
Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility in women. Researchers have reported that those women who have a family history of the disease are five times more likely to develop endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition caused by the uncontrolled growth of endometrial (pertaining to the endometrium or uterine cavity) tissue outside t...
