Googl DeepMind's AlphaGenome to create designer DNA

Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaGenome, an AI tool capable of interpreting long DNA strands and predicting the impact of mutations on biological processes. This advancement could revolutionize treatments by enabling the design of synthetic DNA that activates or deactivates specific genes, paving the way for personalized medicine and gene modification.

AlphaGenome can create new DNA sequences, allowing for targeted therapy in specific tissues while avoiding effects in the rest of the body. It successfully interprets both genes and previously deemed "junk DNA," which plays a crucial role in health and disease.

Experts view this development as a breakthrough for studying complex diseases, opening vast possibilities in genomic research. The findings were published in the Nature journal.
