A catalogue of genetic mutations to help pinpoint the cause of diseases

Science Published 19 September 2023 Authors Žiga Avsec and Jun Cheng New AI tool classifies the effects of 71 million ‘missense’ mutations  Uncovering the root causes of disease is one of the greatest challenges in human genetics. With millions of possible mutations and limited experimental data, it’s largely still a mystery which ones could give […]
