Scientists have also tracked down a mutation in a different gene that confers resistance to certain norovirus strains that are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide.

Until now, researchers often relied on multiple tools to study how genetic mutations affect different aspects of gene regulation. However, according to DeepMind AlphaGenome changes this process. It ...
