New AI Model Improves Prediction Power for Genomics Related to Disease

Los Alamos National Laboratory — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 09:10:45 EST

To understand the workings of DNA in relation to disease, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed the first multimodal deep learning model of its kind, EPBDxDNABERT-2, capable of ascertaining the precise relationship between transcription factors, proteins that regulate gene activities, leveraging an aspect of DNA called DNA breathing, in which the double-helix structure opens and closes spontaneously. The model has the potential to aid in the design of drugs used to treat diseases that originate in gene activity.
