McGill University researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can detect previously invisible disease markers inside single cells.

"RUBY"—a cost-effective innovation designed to track gene activity—is proving valuable across a range of fields. It all started with the idea of finding a better way to monitor genes.

The SCOPE system can capture proteins binding to regions of DNA that control gene expression. The illustration depicts part of the process where a small guide RNA delivers a protein bearing a special ...
