AI reveals DNA 'initiator' pattern present in majority of human genes
Researchers at UC San Diego used machine learning to decode the DNA sequence pattern of the 'initiator' region that controls gene activation. By analyzing about 500,000 variants, they found the initiator in roughly 60% of human genes. This could help predict effects of mutations linked to diseases.
