This is more on the basic science side, but I'd expect it to have impacts throughout biology and medicine (including vaccine and therapeutics development) in the years to come.  As little good news as we've had this year, we should celebrate when human ingenuity makes real breakthroughs.  The field of deep learning is still in its relative infancy so I'd expect the technology to continue to improve as both algorithms and hardware improve.

Here's a tweet thread summarizing it with links to the DeepMind blog post and the Nature news article:
