Google has turned its AI capabilities towards making sense of genetic information , launching its artificial intelligence tool , DeepVariant , to make sense of a person 's genomic detail . The team collected millions of high-throughput reads and fully sequenced genomes from the Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) project, a public-private effort to promote genomic sequencing tools and techniques. The tool has been used by two Google off - shoots , Google Brain and Verily , to process high - throughput sequencing readouts which previously have often only offered a limited view of a full genome . The use of AI in genomics may allow for the understanding of genetic causes for diseases and for drug and treatment plans , eliminating the previously hindrances of data scale and complexity .
