A team from the Zeitlinger Lab developed PISA, a new method for visualizing what deep-learning models learn from DNA at single-base resolution. By separating experimental bias from biological signal, the team was able to train a more focused model that revealed previously hidden DNA sequence features linked to nucleosome positioning and the genome’s larger three-dimensional organization. The work also shows how model interpretation can guide new experiments and help biologists move from AI prediction toward biological mechanism.

What if...?
30 June 2026
The third story in the Institute's 'What If?' series follows Assistant Investigator Arvind Pillai, Ph.D., explores one of biology's deepest unanswered questions: How does evolution create something entirely new? By reconstructing ancient proteins that disappeared hundreds of millions, even billions, of years ago, Pillai's lab is uncovering the principles that gave rise to life's molecular machinery. Those same principles could one day help scientists engineer entirely new proteins capable of delivering drugs and treating disease. Discover how a lifelong fascination with nature's complexity became a scientific pursuit that stretches from Earth's distant past to the future of medicine.
