An estimated 100,000 people in America alone carry overlong repeat segments in their huntingtin genes, of whom 40,000 already have symptoms. The results of a recent trial will surely give them some hope https://t.co/oyoNE3YAys ...

[Applause] From the title of my talk, you would think that this is just another nature versus nurture story. Well, it is. But the difference is that I'm not going to just talk about it.

You were adopted by South African and Canadian parents at birth and you lived a simple life in South Africa. You played, you studied, were you were even grounded when you misbehaved.However, at 17, you moved to Canada to study at t ...

Do our genes determine how quickly we recover from illness? Dan Davis, professor at Imperial College London, discusses how biology, not just lifestyle, shapes every infection, with Alok Jha, host of Babbage, our science and technology podcast https://t.co/eFgNc6NpKz https://t.co/k96YCr5LdJ ...

AI Model Capabilities - AI models, like the EVO2 model from the Ark Institute, can ingest trillions of base pairs of DNA data to identify patterns [1] - These models can identify pathogenic variants in DNA, such as the BA gene variant linked to breast cancer, without prior knowledge or training [2] - AI's ability to identify patterns in DNA suggests potential for uncovering insights into complex phenomena in nature, society, and behavior [3] Limitations and Context - The EVO2 model lacked context for what the DNA represented, including the concept of genes and structured understanding of DNA function [2] - The model's success in identifying the pathogenic variant occurred without knowledge of pathogenic variants for cancer [3]
