AlphaGenome Atlas: a high-resolution map of human DNA

AI summary

The AlphaGenome Atlas is a high-resolution map of human DNA, aiming to understand the 98% of the genome that does not code for proteins. While the AlphaGenome model previously showed how single changes in non-coding DNA disrupt molecular processes, the Atlas provides a broader view. Dr. Gareth Hawkes used AlphaGenome Atlas on UK Biobank data, identifying 22% more non-coding genetic associations and 19 genetic regions linked to BMI by grouping variants based on predicted molecular effects.
