Organisms are built from thousands of different proteins, each of them encoded by a specific gene. For a cell type to acquire its unique identity, form and function, it must activate or “express” the “enhancers”, and scientists have long tried to crack the code by which they operate. The lab of Alexander Stark at the IMP and collaborators at EMBL Heidelberg harnessed genomics and artificial intelligence to solve this second “code of life”.
