Researchers at Google DeepMind, the tech giant's artificial intelligence arm, on Tuesday introduced a tool that predicts whether genetic mutations are likely to cause harm, a breakthrough that could help research into rare diseases.
," said Pushmeet Kohli, vice president for research at Google DeepMind.
A typical human has 9,000 such mutations throughout their genome; they can be harmless or cause diseases such asTo date, four million of these mutations have been observed in humans, but only two percent of them have been classified, either as disease-causing or benign.AlphaMissenseA score was assigned to each mutation, indicating the risk of it causing disease .
