AI Accurately Predicts Effects of Genetic Mutations in Biological Dark Matter

Simons Foundation, July 2018

A new machine learning framework, dubbed ExPecto, can predict the effects of genetic mutations in the so-called “dark matter” regions of the human genome. ExPecto pinpoints how specific mutations can disrupt the way genes turn on and off throughout your body. Such disruptions in gene expression can sometimes have fatal consequences.
