Happy Friday!
Today we take a deeper look into how humans are beginning to decode DNA diseases for eventual cures.
Hint: it includes a company called Deepmind and AI.
Let’s Review 👇
It all starts with AlphaMissense AI, a groundbreaking tool by DeepMind that predicts the pathogenicity of genetic mutations and aids in uncovering the origins of diseases.
This tool, built on AlphaFold, outperforms human experts in variant classification, benefiting researchers and medical professionals worldwide. It has classified 89% of 71 million potential DNA errors, compared to the 0.1% identified by humans.
The AI model offers a continuous score for variant classification and reduces the need for extensive training data and computational time. DeepMind has created a catalog based on the predictions generated by AlphaMissense, which serves as a valuable resource for researchers and medical professionals.
However, DeepMind has taken a cautious approach in releasing the trained model to prevent misuse — unlocking the power of DNA editing is powerful.
The publicly available AlphaMissense catalog can help streamline the process of matching genetic mutations to diseases and enhance our understanding of our genetic code. (Read More)
