Google's AI genome system evaluates every possible one-base change
Ars Technica 1 month ago 4 ● 6 sources
Google announced AlphaGenome Atlas, a system meant to predict the effects of every possible single-base change in the human genome. It scales the work to about 9 billion one-base variants by checking three alternate bases across roughly 3 billion reference positions. This provides a single software resource for evaluating non-coding DNA functions, which may speed up how biologists identify regulatory sequence variants.
