Finding the molecular switches behind new infectious diseases

# AI Helps Scientists Speed Up Discovery of What Causes New Diseases Google DeepMind has created a tool called Co-Scientist that helps researchers like Clare Bryant quickly identify the genetic "switches" that turn a disease on or off. Instead of manually sorting through massive amounts of genetic data, this AI tool cuts through the noise to find the key differences that make a disease dangerous. This could help doctors respond faster when new infectious diseases emerge, potentially saving lives by reducing the time between outbreak and understanding.
