Machine learning sheds light on gene transcription

A team led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center has developed deep learning models to identify a simple set of rules that govern the activity of promoters—regions of DNA that initiate the process by which genes ...

Understanding the wiring of the human genome

Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn't get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for how researchers can ...
