New AI tool illuminates 'dark side' of the human genome

Proteins sustain life as we know it, serving many important structural and functional roles throughout the body. But these large molecules have cast a long shadow over a smaller subclass of proteins called microproteins.

Cutting-Edge AI Reveals Hidden “Dark Side” of the Human Genome

In the complex world of molecular biology, proteins have long stood as the pillars supporting countless physiological processes. These large biomolecules, composed of lengthy chains of amino acids, orchestrate and regulate myriad functions essential for life. Yet, hidden within our genome lies a far subtler class of proteins—microproteins—that have largely escaped scientific scrutiny. These miniature […]
