# 🧬 Virtual Gene Scope v2.0
**Explore the Regulatory Genome with Google DeepMind's AlphaGenome.**
An educational tool for nursing students and healthcare professionals to visualise how non-coding genetic variants affect gene regulation β€” covering expression, splicing, chromatin accessibility, and contact maps.
> *Built by nurses who code. For nurses who care about genomics.*
> *Part of the [CQAI Nursing Education Toolkit](https://github.com/Clinical-Quality-Artifical-Intelligence)*
