Researchers teach AI to tailor artificial DNA for drug development

Drug Discovery World

Using artificial intelligence, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden have succeeded in designing synthetic DNA that controls the cells’ protein production. . First it was about being able to fully ‘read’ the DNA molecule’s instructions. The next step is to use human cells.

Cracking the code of life: new AI model learns DNA's hidden language

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its rules and context to draw functional information about the DNA sequences.

DNA tech offers both data storage and computing functions

Science Daily: Pharmacology News

Researchers have demonstrated a technology capable of a suite of data storage and computing functions -- repeatedly storing, retrieving, computing, erasing or rewriting data -- that uses DNA rather than conventional electronics. Previous DNA data storage and computing technologies could complete some but not all of these tasks.
