Single-cell atlases continue to map the diversity of cell states, but how can we use them to interpret non-coding genetic variants? Excited to share AlphaGenome 2, our model for predicting cell-type-specific regulatory activity and variant effects from DNA sequence. deepmind.g…
- AlphaGenome 2 predicts how DNA variants affect gene expression in specific human cell types rather than broad tissue averages.
- On the TenK10K immune-cell benchmark, the model flagged 30% of causal variants against the first AlphaGenome's 16%.
- Non-commercial researchers get API access, commercial use is in private preview, and DeepMind says the model is not approved for clinical use.
