[Google DeepMind Releases AlphaGenome 2 Gene Prediction Model] According to a report by The Verge on November 11th, Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome 2, a gene prediction model designed to predict the impact of gene variations on different cell types and states, helping researchers explore the cellular causes of diseases. The model was trained on over 100 million single-cell atlases covering 68 tissue types. Google claims it identified nearly twice as many variations that could alter cellular gene expression as previous state-of-the-art models; the model can also predict new cell types and biological states that have not been retrained. Google has made the model available to non-commercial research via the AlphaGenome API and is providing a limited private preview for commercial research.
