News Highlights: Deep Learning shows how genetic motives guide the ‘music of life’
Our genetic codes determine not only which proteins our cells produce, but also – to a large extent – in what quantity. This groundbreaking discovery, applicable to all biological life, was recently made by systems biologists at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, using supercomputers and artificial intelligence. Their research, which could also shed new light on the mysteries of cancer, was recently published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
DNA molecules contain instructions for cells to make different proteins. This has been known since the middle of the last century, when the double helix was identified as the information carrier of life.
