How is AI (artificial intelligence) used in genomics? AI is helping researchers analyse genomic data, identify patterns and generate new insights into health. Swipe through the images below to learn how AI is supporting genomic research and helping us better understand our DNA.

Illustration of a scientist analysing genomic data on a computer screen with text explaining "Genomic data is incredibly complex. AI can help researchers analyse genomic data and find patterns that may help us better understand health"Illustration symbolising connections between people with text explaining "AI can help researchers look for connections between: Differences in people’s DNA, Health conditions, and How people respond to treatments. This can help us learn more about why conditions develop and how they can be treated"Illustration of a doctor consulting a patient alongside text explaining "By helping researchers understand genomic information, AI could support: Earlier and more accurate diagnoses, Better understanding of conditions and More personalised approaches to healthcare"Illustration of a DNA strand with text explaining "AI is just one tool in genomic research. It works alongside researchers, clinicians and participants to help answer important questions about health. As genomic research advances, AI could help us uncover new insights from our DNA"

New Ensembl FTP users, heads up! 

The FTP structure for the new site has been updated. The species name-based structure will be retired in August 2026. Overlap dumps are provided to help while you rework existing pipelines. Read more on our blog: zurl.co/sSbPj

First pre-print from the lab, a collaborative effort led by Jess Bourn @bournsupremacy.bsky.social, a fantastic PhD in my group. We resolve a key problem in development + evolution: how do we quantify heterochrony and link temporal variation to phenotype? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Quantitative mapping of heterochrony to species-specific phenotypes

The genetic program of animal development is conserved, but its rate of execution varies across species. Heterochrony, shifts in the relative timing of developmental events, generates phenotypic varia...

I think AI is the best opening we've ever had to bring our engineering values to the mainstream, instead of the top single-digit-percent of teams it's always been. But nondeterminism will take more engineering discipline. Not less. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-demands...

AI demands more engineering discipline. Not less

If you lived through the shift from handcrafted server pets to immutable infrastructure, you should sense something oddly familiar about what's happening now.

This is one of the best books introducing genetics, genomics and how this relates to how humans have populated the world. It's fun, scientifically accurate and interesting. (and I feature as someone who "pratted around" in my youth in this world. Sort of true).

30 years ago, the yeast genome was completed by an international team of scientists. Since then, S.cerevisiae has become a key model for understanding conserved biological processes and driving discoveries. Explore the annotated Baker’s yeast R64-1-1 genome in @ensembl.org @yeastgenome.bsky.social

The Treasury Committee is reviewing whether the student loan system is fair and wants to hear from doctors and medical students. But you only have a short window to tell them what it’s actually like.
