For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

DNA consists of a code language comprising four letters which make up what are known as codons, or words, each three letters long. Interpreting the language of the genetic code was the work of ...

According to the reports, the Google DeepMind’s AlphaGenome can predict how even the tiniest changes in DNA, a single swapped letter in the genetic code, might alter the way genes behave, and in turn, ...
