Google DeepMind launched AlphaGenome, an AI tool designed to identify genetic mutations that drive disease.
The system analyses up to one million DNA letters at once and predicts how mutations disrupt gene regulation.
Researchers trained AlphaGenome on human and mouse genetic databases.
The tool focuses on the non-coding genome, which controls when and where genes switch on.
Scientists believe it will help pinpoint mutations behind cancer, inherited diseases, and mental health conditions.
AlphaGenome could also support new gene therapies by guiding the design of custom DNA sequences.
