AlphaMissense revolutionizes genetic mutation analysis for disease prediction

AlphaMissense, an adaptation of AlphaFold, offers a highly accurate model for predicting the pathogenicity of human proteome-wide missense variants at the single amino acid level. The model outperforms existing methods, providing valuable insights for diagnosing rare diseases and developing targeted therapies.
