Google DeepMind Unveils AlphaGenome to Decode Genetic Causes of Disease

Google DeepMind launched AlphaGenome, an AI tool designed to identify genetic drivers of disease.
The system analyses up to one million DNA letters at once and predicts how mutations affect gene regulation.
Researchers say many inherited diseases and cancers stem from regulatory mutations rather than protein-coding genes.
AlphaGenome learned from large human and mouse genetics databases.
Scientists believe it can pinpoint harmful mutations and guide new drug and gene therapy development.
Experts from University of British Columbia, University College London, and University of Exeter called the tool a major advance in understanding the genome.
