Missense variants remain a challenge in genetic interpretation due to their subtle and context-dependent effects. While current prediction models perform well in known disease genes, generalizability ...
Researchers have developed EVE-Vax, an AI tool that forecasts viral mutations and designs test proteins to guide next-generation vaccines. The breakthrough could allow scientists to build vaccines ...
Whether we are predisposed to particular diseases may depend to a large extent on variations in our genomes, but the influence on the presentation of certain pathological traits of genetic variants ...
CoVFit can predict the epidemic potential—i.e., the fitness—of SARS-CoV-2 variants based solely on their spike protein sequences. Viral infectious diseases pose significant challenges due to the rapid ...
Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Publishing in the Cell Press journal Cell Genomics on May 21, researchers ...
This important study introduces a new biology-informed strategy for deep learning models aiming to predict mutational effects in antibody sequences. It provides solid evidence that separating ...
Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...
