DeepMind has introduced AlphaGenome, a new AI model designed to predict how even small changes in DNA can influence gene activity. The model focuses on the non-coding regions of DNA - stretches that do not contain direct blueprints for proteins but instead act as regulatory control centers, determining when and how genes are switched on or off. These regions make up the bulk of the human genome and have long been difficult to interpret.<br /> The article Deepmind’s AlphaGenome predicts how small DNA changes affect genes appeared first on THE DECODER.
