DeepMind’s new artificial intelligence can predict genetic diseases
A team of researchers has developed a computational tool called AlphaMissense that they say can predict pathogenic and benign variants of human missense genes. AlphaMissense, which aims to identify the best predictor over two to three years, uses machine learning to detect missing genes in genomes. In the past, missense variants have been identified only in cases of rare diseases.

A model for detecting diseases from images of the eye
UK-based researchers have created a new foundation model called ‘Found’ that can detect retinal diseases by learning to identify disease-related lesions on natural images and unlabelled retinal images. “This is exciting risk comes from usingFound as the basis for other models,” researcher Pearse Keane said. The model can be efficiently adapted to adapt to a broad range of disease detection tasks.
