MIT chemists have developed a groundbreaking method using generative AI to predict 3D genomic structures. This innovative technique allows for the rapid analysis of thousands of chromatin structures in mere minutes, significantly outpacing traditional experimental methods. The research aims to enhance understanding of how genome organization influences gene expression in various cell types.
The model, named ChromoGen, integrates deep learning and generative AI to analyze DNA sequences and predict chromatin conformations. By training on over 11 million chromatin structures, the model can generate diverse structural predictions, offering insights into gene expression variability. This advancement opens new avenues for exploring chromatin dynamics and their implications in health and disease.
• Generative AI predicts 3D genome structures faster than traditional methods.
• ChromoGen model analyzes DNA sequences to enhance understanding of gene expression.
