November 6 , 2023 257 days 392 0
  • Scientists at Google DeepMind have developed an AI program called AlphaMissense.
  • It can predict the potential harm or harmlessness of genetic mutations, particularly missense mutations that involve single-letter changes in the DNA code.
  • These mutations can lead to disorders such as cystic fibrosis, cancer, and brain development issues.
  • AlphaMissense assessed 71 million single-letter mutations in human proteins.
  • It achieved a 90% precision rate, categorizing 57% as likely harmless and 32% as potentially harmful, leaving some uncertainty.
