AI tools help decode the hidden language of the genome

A recent Nature Technology feature marks a pivotal moment in the quest to understand our genetic blueprint.

While protein-coding regions have long dominated genomics research, attention is now shifting to the vast non-coding portions of DNA, once dismissed as “junk”, through innovative artificial intelligence approaches. This evolution mirrors the breakthroughs seen in protein structure prediction with AlphaFold, but now focuses on regulatory DNA: the sequences that control gene expression and influence human health and disease.

These advances are not just accelerating analysis, they’re enabling scientists to revisit long-standing questions with fresh perspectives and ask entirely new ones that were previously out of reach. Read the full article here >>

About Nature Technology Features:

Nature Technology Features are special features published in Nature spotlighting scientists and the technologies they choose. Organizations are invited to collaborate and advertise their technologies alongside the Nature features.

Each feature provides essential insights that can be readily implemented in laboratories around the world, making it the perfect platform for your brand to shine.
