AI decodes DNA initiator sequence found in about 60% of human genes

Researchers have utilized an artificial intelligence model to identify the specific sequence within DNA that triggers gene transcription for approximately 60% of human genes. By decoding how this initiator element functions, the team has provided a clearer understanding of how the cell begins the process of reading genetic information. This finding clarifies a fundamental biological mechanism that has long been difficult to map, offering new insights into how gene expression is regulated across the human genome.
