flag Google DeepMind's AlphaGenome predicts how DNA changes affect gene function and disease, aiding medical research.

flag Google DeepMind has released AlphaGenome, an AI tool that analyzes up to one million DNA base pairs to predict how genetic variations in non-coding DNA affect gene regulation, RNA production, and disease. flag Trained on human and mouse genomic data, it outperforms previous models in predicting functional impacts across hundreds of cell types, aiding research in cancer, rare diseases, and gene therapy. flag The open-access tool is already used by 3,000 scientists worldwide, though experts note limitations in capturing environmental effects and long-range regulatory interactions.
