AI Tool Eve Accurately Predicts Disease Relevance of Human Genetic Variants

Researchers at Harvard Medical School and Oxford University have now developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called EVE (evolutionary model of variant effect), which uses a sophisticated type of machine learning to detect patterns of genetic variation across hundreds of thousands of nonhuman species and then use them to make predictions about the meaning of variations in human genes.
