The Carnegie Mellon computational biologist thinks machine learning algorithms can direct high-throughput experiments to solve the field’s unanswered questions.

Machine learning algorithms predict the repairs made to DNA after Cas9 cuts.

Similarities in gene expression hint at the origin of a certain type of pancreatic tumor that predominantly afflicts women.

Researchers found that allegedly noncoding genetic material carries the instructions for many peptides that may help harness the immune system to fight cancer.

Advances in the functional characterization of newly discovered microproteins hint at diverse roles in health and disease.

Viruses that infect plants and occasionally insects appear to cause infection with a divide-and-conquer strategy, multiplying separate segments of genetic material in different host cells.

Such differences may help explain accidental pregnancies among women on the pill, researchers say.

An analysis of the contours of more than 600 kids’ brains points to links between cerebral surface area and heritability in regions of the brain important in cognition.
