Why AI Isn’t Ready to Tackle Our Convoluted Genomes

Only about 2 percent of human DNA codes for proteins. Much of the rest helps decide when and where genes switch on, through transcription factors that work in shifting pairs and groups. Wired reports that models such as Evo 2 and AlphaGenome learn correlations from existing data, but the experiments that reveal regulation are scarce, so their predictions are hard to interpret.
