Srinagar, May 2 -- A groundbreaking study from the Australian National University (ANU) suggests artificial intelligence (AI) could soon revolutionise how genetic diseases are diagnosed and treated.

Published in Nature Communications, the research combines AI-driven protein modeling with genome sequencing to better understand how genetic mutations impact human health. The study uses Google DeepMind's AlphaFold to analyse every possible mutation across the entire human proteome, uncovering why some proteins are more vulnerable to harmful mutations.

Lead researcher Dan Andrews, Associate Professor at ANU, explained that evolution appears to have built resilience into essential proteins, protecting them from destabilising mutations. In con...
