Summary:
- Google's AI system, AlphaFold, has been used to predict the 3D structure of millions of proteins, including those found in the "dark matter" of the human genome.
- This dark matter refers to the large portions of the genome that do not code for proteins, but may still play important roles in human biology and disease.
- By understanding the 3D structures of these non-coding regions, scientists hope to gain new insights into how the genome functions and potentially identify new targets for medical treatments.
