In a new study, scientists have utilised AI to create a protein, and then employ CRISPR technology to it in order to inhibit a protein complex called Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) to awaken and upregulate several genes.

Sci-fi movies have often fascinated us with the superhuman potential that the switching 'on and off' of genes can give rise to. However, in the real world, the expectation from this process is more m… [+6130 chars]
