AlphaGenome Atlas Maps DNA Changes | Science News
Google DeepMind just unveiled the AlphaGenome Atlas, a revolutionary DNA mapping tool that predicts how nine billion genetic variants affect bodily functions across tissues. This massive, quadrillion-byte database acts like a GPS for your genome, letting researchers instantly assess variant impacts without manual computation. Built on their AlphaGenome AI, it decodes the mysterious 98% of noncoding DNA that regulates gene activity — crucial for understanding diseases like cancer. Think of it as the genomic counterpart to AlphaFold, though broader in scope and less precise. It scores each…
