(New York Times) – AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely a mystery.

Scientists used the program to study how proteins normally work — and how the failure to work can lead to disease. It helped them build entirely new proteins, some of which will soon be tested in clinical trials.

Now another team of researchers at Google DeepMind is trying to do for DNA what the company did for proteins. AlphaFold, meet AlphaGenome.

On Wednesday, the researchers unveiled AlphaGenome in the journal Nature. They trained their A.I. on a vast wealth of molecular data, enabling it to make predictions about thousands of genes. (Read More)
