DeepMind’s AlphaMissense AI tool has catalogued and classified 71 million potential disease-linked ‘missense’ mutations in human DNA, vastly expanding upon previous research. Utilizing the AlphaFold database, 89% of these mutations are categorized as ‘likely’ or ‘unlikely’ to cause disease. This tool could accelerate molecular biology research, aid in disease understanding, and inform diagnostics and treatments.
