AlphaGenome is a new AI tool that predicts the effects of genetic variants on gene regulation, offering insights into genome function and disease biology. It processes long DNA sequences to provide high-resolution predictions, making it a valuable resource for scientific research. The model is now available via an API for non-commercial use, with potential applications in disease understanding, synthetic biology, and fundamental genomic research.

Scientists have initiated an ambitious project aimed at constructing a complete human genome from scratch, which could revolutionize our understanding of genetics and pave the way for advancements in medicine. This groundbreaking endeavor seeks to synthesize DNA to better study genetic functions and their implications for human health.
