Canberra, May 2 -- Artificial intelligence (AI) could soon play a pivotal role in diagnosing and treating genetic disorders, a study by the Australian National University (ANU) said.
The study marks a significant step toward more precise, personalised medicine by harnessing the power of new data tools, according to an ANU news release.
Published in Nature Communications, the study combines AI-powered protein models with genome sequencing to better understand how mutations affect human health.
It uncovered why some proteins are more vulnerable to harmful mutations than others, through the use of Google DeepMind AlphaFold's cutting-edge AI to analyse the effects of every possible mutation across the full range of human proteins, said the ...
