But Dr. Koo and other outside experts cautioned that it represented just one step on a long road ahead. “This is not AlphaFold, and it’s not going to win the Nobel Prize,” said Mark Gerstein, a computational biologist at Yale.
AlphaGenome will be useful. Dr. Gerstein said that he would probably add it to his toolbox for exploring DNA, and others expect to follow suit. But not all scientists trust A.I. programs like AlphaGenome to help them understand the genome.

In 2021, Dr. Avsec and his colleagues unveiled a preliminary A.I. called Enformer, which they have since expanded into AlphaGenome. They trained the program on an even greater expanse of biological data. “It’s really an industrial scale,” Dr. Gerstein said
