• Out of 71 million possible missense variants, only 4 million have been identified in humans. Traditionally, just 2% have been categorized as either harmful or benign, but this tool expedites the evaluation process with 90% accuracy.

• While the new tool accelerates research into genetic diseases and helps in rapid diagnoses, experts emphasize its use as a guide rather than a definitive answer. The technology showcases AI's growing potential in the vast field of biology.
