Google DeepMind Unveils AlphaGenome to Decode Genetic Causes of Disease

Google DeepMind launched AlphaGenome, an AI tool that predicts how DNA mutations disrupt gene regulation.
The system analyses up to one million DNA letters at once.
It helps identify genetic changes linked to cancer, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders.
Researchers trained AlphaGenome on large human and mouse genetics databases.
The AI predicts when genes switch on, in which cells, and at what intensity.
Scientists say the tool could accelerate drug discovery and gene therapy design.
Experts at University of British Columbia and University College London called it a major advance in understanding non-coding DNA.
