Google DeepMind releases gene prediction model AlphaGenome 2

On November 11 that, according to The Verge, Google DeepMind released the gene prediction model AlphaGenome 2 to predict the effects of genetic variants on different cell types and states, helping researchers explore the cellular-level causes of diseases.

The model was trained on over 100 million single-cell atlases covering 68 tissues. Google stated that the number of variants identified that may alter cell 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 made the model available for non-commercial research via the AlphaGenome API, and provides a limited private preview for commercial research.
