Getting here wasn’t a straight path. We sat down @googledeepmind to discuss the story behind the model, paper & API: https://t.co/cT8CiXfnxQ
📢Paper alert!
Read about popEVE, a deep generative model that ranks missense variants by deleteriousness across the proteome, by combining evolutionary and population data. It flags novel genes and can identify causal variants even in singleton exomes.

There is a fascinating tension here: accuracy comes at the cost of flexibility. This study really captures how “hallucination-free” AI in education might look: verified, context-aware, and always on. The question now is how much constraint learners want.
Research highlights how long-read sequencing is helping close the diagnostic gap for rare diseases.
Using a nanopore-based pipeline, researchers resolved 11 rare disease cases, uncovering variants and epigenetic changes missed by short-read approaches.

"That got me hooked on computers and AI for the rest of my life."
2024 chemistry laureate Demis Hassabis describes how playing chess competitively at the age of four led him to becoming an AI programmer. From there he went on to solve big problems in biology, developing an AI model to predict the structure of virtually all known proteins.
