Google's New AI Reads Your DNA Cell by Cell

AlphaGenome 2 predicts how a DNA change plays out in each cell type, not just the body as a whole. LexxWire

DeepMind trained the model on more than 107 million single-cell profiles across 68 tissues. LexxWire

A variant that is harmless in one cell can change gene activity in another. AlphaGenome 2 tells them apart. LexxWire

Google says the model finds nearly twice as many variants that switch gene expression on or off as the first version. LexxWire

Scientists can use it for non-commercial research through the AlphaGenome API. It is not approved for clinical use. LexxWire
