AI discovery of sequence rules for RNA polymerase II pausing revises the pause-release model of gene activation

Changing minds: How AI is transforming the life sciences.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way biomedical research is conducted by making it possible to integrate diverse types of biological data and tackle questions that were previously difficult to address. At the same time, its growing use also raises important questions about data quality, reliability, interpr...

Recursive Scaling in Masked Diffusion Models

Recursion in MDMs is introduced and new Recursive Masked Diffusion Models (R-MDMs) are proposed, which apply a shared denoising transformer several times within each denoising step, adding recursive depth as an additional compute axis without increasing parameter count.

Timely Clinical Diagnosis through Active Test Selection

This work proposes ACTMED (Adaptive Clinical Test selection via Model-based Experimental Design), a diagnostic framework that integrates Bayesian Experimental Design with large language models (LLMs) to better emulate real-world diagnostic reasoning.
