AlphaFold Missense Model Classifies 71 Million Genetic Variants
By
–
Our Missense model, building on #AlphaFold, has helped classify 89% of all 71 million possible missense variants to predict if they’re benign or pathogenic. Until recently human experts had classified just 0.1% of them

Single Amino Acid Swaps in DNA Proteins Cause Disease
By
–
Just as swapping a single letter can alter an entire word, in the language of DNA, swapping a single amino acid can alter an entire protein. These swaps are called missense variants. An average person has over 9,000 missense variants – most benign, but even one can cause disease
