[Google DeepMind Releases AlphaGenome 2 Gene Prediction Model] According to the official Google DeepMind blog, Google DeepMind has released AlphaGenome 2, a gene prediction model. This model can predict DNA function under specific conditions based on a DNA sequence of approximately 1 million base pairs and a given tissue, cell type, or state. Readings cover gene expression, histone modifications, chromatin accessibility, and now include DNA methylation. Unlike its predecessor, which predicted multiple tissues in parallel, the new model predicts under a single condition each time, distinguishing between similar cell types and generalizing to new single-cell data without retraining. DeepMind claims it identifies nearly twice as many variations affecting cellular gene expression as previous state-of-the-art models.
