A machine learning algorithm used gene expression profiles of patients with gout to predict flares. The PyTorch neural network performed best, with an area under the curve of 65%. The PyTorch model ...

Predicting observable traits from genetic variation remains difficult due to the complex interplay of multiple genes and environmental influences. Widely used statistical approaches are limited in ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...

A Stanford-led study published in Nature on Feb. 26 found that age-related changes witnessed in diseases like Alzheimer’s may be related to a relatively untapped area of research in the brain. The ...

In my first semester of graduate school at Tufts University, I sat across from a young professor as he pitched me on joining his lab to work on genetic code expansion (GCE). Even though I'd just ...

Your immune system harbors a lifetime's worth of information about threats it's encountered - a biological Rolodex of baddies. Often the perpetrators are viruses and bacteria you've conquered; others ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach can reconstruct collisions more quickly ...
