A new AI program, SEQUOIA, can analyze a microscopy image from a tumor biopsy (left, purple) and rapidly determine what genes are likely turned on and off in the cells it contains (gene expression ...

Traditionally, cancer diagnosis and prognosis rely heavily on histopathological examination, where tissue morphology is evaluated under the microscope. However, the molecular ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...

To determine the type and severity of a cancer, pathologists typically analyze thin slices of a tumor biopsy under a microscope. But to figure out what genomic changes are driving the tumor's growth - ...

What if you could flip a genetic switch to silence a gene, then turn it back on with a simple drug? For researchers, gene-switch tools offer that kind of control—and a new system called Cyclone may ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

Genetics is the study of genes and how they influence characteristics and health. Through a variety of technological methods, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices, it is possible to alter some ...
