Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Money as a Cultural tool in the Indian Subcontinent: Trade in Ancient and Medieval India

P. 268–287.
Singh A.

Money has played a vital role in Indian history. Since ancient times, trading communities in coastal and inland regions have connected the subcontinent with various civilizations. One key aspect of this trade was that, alongside monetary exchange, cultural values ​​and traditions were also exchanged. Money was not only a means of exchanging goods but also "cultural capital." The emergence of money in India is closely linked to India's trade relations with several significant cities and kingdoms in the ancient and medieval periods. Considered a medium of exchange, money actually encouraged people to unite and develop rules for such exchange, as well as bonds of trust. Along with deepening economic ties, trade embodies socialization at various levels and stimulates intercultural exchanges.
