Researchers have shed new light on how the structure of regulatory sequences in DNA is packaged in a cell. This work has implications for better understanding the role that gene sequences called ...

Regulatory DNA sequences contain information on the timing and level at which different genes are expressed. An ongoing challenge is to uncover the means by which this information is encoded and ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

Researchers at EPFL have created a mathematical model that helps explain how breaking language into sequences makes modern AI-like chatbots so good at understanding and using words. The work is ...
