Google DeepMind Releases Gene Prediction Model AlphaGenome 2

TechFlow News, November 11 — According to The Verge, Google DeepMind has released the gene prediction model AlphaGenome 2, which predicts the effects of genetic variants on different cell types and states, helping researchers explore the cellular causes of diseases.

The model was trained on more than 100 million single-cell atlases covering 68 tissue types. Google said the number of variants it identifies that may alter cellular gene expression is nearly twice that of previous advanced models; the model can also predict new cell types and biological states without retraining.

Google has opened the model to non-commercial research through the AlphaGenome API and is offering a limited private preview for commercial research.
