RESEARCHERS ARE USING AI TO DECODE THE HUMAN GENOME

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

AlphaGenome is an AI model that can make predictions about thousands of genes. It was trained on a vast wealth of molecular data, allowing it to predict things like whether a mutation will shut off a gene or switch it on at the wrong time. The model is being deployed for use in things like cancer research, but scientists are still wary of its results. AlphaGenome is still just a prediction tool, so scientists still need to go to the lab to verify its output.
