New Open-Source Tool RNACOREX Maps Gene Regulation Networks to Predict Cancer Survival

Researchers at the University of Navarra in Spain have developed RNACOREX, an open-source software platform that identifies gene regulation networks linked to cancer survival. The tool analyzes thousands of biological molecules simultaneously to detect molecular interactions often missed by traditional methods, providing an explainable alternative to AI models while predicting patient survival with comparable accuracy.

AI image generators converge on just 12 visual clichés, study reveals creative limitations

A study published in Patterns journal reveals AI image generators repeatedly default to the same 12 generic visual motifs when generating images autonomously. Researchers paired AI models in a visual telephone experiment, finding that despite diverse starting prompts, systems like Stable Diffusion XL consistently produced Eurocentric themes like Gothic cathedrals and Parisian nightscapes—what they call 'visual elevator music.'

AI identifies single protein interaction that blocks virus entry into cells before infection

Washington State University researchers used artificial intelligence and molecular simulations to identify a critical amino acid interaction that stops herpes viruses from entering cells. By introducing a targeted mutation to this single interaction among thousands, they successfully blocked viral fusion, pointing toward a new direction for antiviral therapies that intervene before infection begins.

UAE bets $147 billion on Artificial Intelligence to drive economic diversification beyond oil

The UAE is constructing a massive AI campus in Abu Dhabi's desert, a quarter the size of Paris, powered by five gigawatts of electricity. With over $147 billion invested since 2024 and partnerships with tech giants like Microsoft, OpenAI, and Nvidia, the oil-rich nation aims to become an AI-native powerhouse. But fierce competition from the US and China means success remains uncertain in this fast-evolving sector.
