Google DeepMind’s AlphaGenome Atlas Could Help Researchers Find the Genetic Causes of Diseases

The database gives researchers a precomputed score for each variant and helped one study identify 22% more non-coding genetic associations.

Summary by Inquirer
AlphaGenome Atlas contains predictions for the molecular effects of all roughly 9 billion possible single-letter changes in human DNA. Researchers can search the database to see how individual variants are predicted to affect processes such as gene expression, RNA splicing, and chromatin accessibility across different cell types and tissues. That gives researchers something they have not previously had at this scale: a precomputed view of how in…
