Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed EPBDxDNABERT-2, a groundbreaking multimodal deep learning model. This model enhances the understanding of DNA's role in disease by accurately predicting the binding of transcription factors to specific gene locations. The integration of DNA breathing dynamics into the model significantly improves its predictive capabilities, which could aid in drug design for gene-related diseases.
The model was trained using extensive gene sequencing data and tested on various datasets, demonstrating a 9.6% improvement in binding predictions for over 660 transcription factors. Utilizing the Laboratory's supercomputer, Venado, the research team effectively combined AI with genomic analysis, showcasing the model's versatility and robustness. This advancement represents a significant leap in computational genomics, offering a sophisticated tool for exploring complex biological mechanisms.
