Google Deepmind’s Alphamissense
AI , Medical Science and our Genetic Codes
Žiga Avsec, a proficient physics scholar, has recently joined Google's artificial intelligence team dedicated to genomics.
The team is developing AlphaMissense, a model that interpret the connections between DNA mutations and rare diseases.
AlphaMissense aims to analyze the effects of DNA mutations to accelerate research into rare diseases.
