Google's DeepMind has unveiled AlphaGenome, a new AI model designed to help researchers decipher the complexities of the human genome. While the sequencing of the human genome was completed in 2003, the function of many of its 3 billion genetic components remains unknown. AlphaGenome aims to bridge this gap by providing insights into the roles of these genetic letters. This advancement has the potential to accelerate breakthroughs in understanding and treating genetic diseases, as well as furthering our overall knowledge of human biology. The model represents a significant step towards unlocking the full potential of genomic information.
