The Download: Google DeepMind’s DNA AI, and heatwaves’ impact on the grid

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2026-03-04 12:10:00

When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t know what all those 3 billion genetic letters actually do. Now Google’s DeepMind division says it’s made a leap in trying to understand the code with AlphaGenome, an AI model that predicts what effects small changes in DNA will have on an array of molecular processes, such as whether a gene’s activity will go up or down.

The symbol of earthly good, and the immediate object of toil. Thursday afternoon I belatedly fulfilled a promise to post a book to Wilcannia.

But these problems, which can lead to delays in making important choices — and being more likely to make poor ones — receive less attention, write the authors of a recent paper in Emotion.
