Study finds genes can combine to make unknown proteins

Researchers at Harvard Medical School have found that instructions from different genes — even those located on separate chromosomes — can combine to create chimeric mRNAs that produce previously unknown, functional proteins. The findings, published Wednesday in Nature Springer Nature…

Harvard AI model predicts which cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy

Researchers at Harvard Medical School have developed an artificial intelligence model called COMPASS that can predict which cancer patients will respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors, a class of drugs that works in only a fraction of those who receive them.…
