Seeing the shape of life.

Researchers used AlphaFold to predict protein structures with accuracy competitive with experimental structures on many CASP14 targets. Bright's interactive p53 view uses a separate, later AlphaFold DB prediction: human p53 AF-P04637-F1 model v6, created on 2025-08-01.

CT scans may carry a second clue.

A peer-reviewed study tested whether EAGLE, an AI system, could flag esophageal cancer on non-contrast chest CT scans people received for other reasons.

A laboratory lead for dry AMD, not yet a treatment.

Researchers used an AI system called Robin to connect biological evidence and identify a candidate direction for dry age-related macular degeneration, then tested it in laboratory models.

Twelve millimetres, or three centimetres.

A breast cancer found by imaging is typically about 12 mm across. One found by a hand — a woman's own, or a clinician's — is typically about 21 mm. In India, where almost no one is screened, four out of five recorded tumours are already 3 cm or larger when they are found.

Reading more of a DNA change's consequences

AlphaGenome is a unified DNA-sequence model that takes up to 1 Mb of DNA and predicts thousands of functional genomic tracks, including gene expression, splicing, chromatin features, transcription-factor binding, and contact maps.
