Neural networks will help study DNA
Scientists at the Higher School of Economics have proposed a way to improve the accuracy of finding Z-DNA – the sections of a molecule that are left-handed rather than right-handed. To do so, they used neural networks and a dataset of more than 30,000 experiments done by different laboratories around the world.
