Google Unveils AI Tool Probing Mysteries Of Human Genome

Google has unveiled AlphaGenome, a groundbreaking artificial intelligence tool designed to help scientists better understand the human genome and the genetic roots of complex diseases. Developed by Google DeepMind, the model focuses on decoding non-coding DNA — long regarded as “junk” — which plays a crucial role in regulating gene activity. By analysing DNA sequences of up to one million letters with high precision, AlphaGenome allows researchers to study how genetic variants influence biological processes. Scientists have described the tool as a major breakthrough, though experts caution it is not a complete solution, noting that environmental factors also affect gene expression.
