Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome 2, an AI model that zooms into individual cell types to explain how single-letter DNA changes drive disease in some cells while sparing others.
- Trained on 100M+ profiles across 68 tissues, it spots nearly twice as many mutations that turn genes on/off as the previous model
- Adapts to lab experiments on the fly with no retraining: researchers can plug in data from just a few dozen cells to study immune response to vaccines, gut inflammatory disease, stem cell maturation, and more
