A computer algorithm can efficiently find genetic mutations that work together to drive cancer as well as other important genetic clues that researchers might someday use to develop new treatments for ...

A new deep learning algorithm can pick up the molecular pathways and development of key mutations causing colorectal cancer more accurately than existing methods, meaning patients could benefit from ...

In a groundbreaking study published on January 18, 2024, in Cancer Discovery, scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine leveraged a machine learning algorithm to tackle one ...

Key points New evidence has led to a change in the way that some patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are classified and treated. Based on the findings of a landmark trial,[1][1] the drug ...

Modern HIV medicine is based on a common genetic mutation. Now, researchers have traced where and when the mutation arose—and how it protected our ancestors from ancient diseases. What do a ...

Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...

A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...
