A team of scientists has developed an algorithm that can accurately pinpoint, in large regions of the human genome, mutations favored by natural selection. The finding provides deeper insight into how ...

A computer algorithm can efficiently find genetic mutations that work together to drive cancer as well as other important genetic clues that researchers might someday use to develop new treatments for ...

Proteins are like Spider-Man in the multiverse. The underlying story is the same: each building block of a protein is based on a three-letter DNA code. However, change one letter, and the same protein ...

Researchers have created an artificial intelligence model that can identify which mutations in human proteins are most likely ...

Genetic data is more readily available than ever before—but interpreting it can be a challenge. Without months of work in the laboratory, it can be tough to tell what one of the millions of ...

Discover how the artificial intelligence model popEVE ranks mutations in human proteins, transforming diagnoses in genetic disease.

“Viral escape is a big problem,” said Bonnie Berger, PhD, the Simons Professor of Mathematics and head of the Computation and Biology group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Computer ...

Galileo once observed that nature is written in math. Biology might be written in words. Natural-language processing (NLP) algorithms are now able to generate protein sequences and predict virus ...
