Google DeepMind unveils AlphaGenome 2 to decode how cells read DNA and drive disease

Google DeepMind · rss · 2026-11-11

Google DeepMind announced AlphaGenome 2, the successor to last year's genome-predicting model AlphaGenome. It predicts how DNA sequences and their variants affect specific human cell types and disease.

Nearly every human cell carries the same DNA, but different cell types switch different genes on and off, and changes in those patterns can underlie disease. AlphaGenome 2 aims to decipher how cells read DNA, offering clues to disease mechanisms and new treatments, accompanied by the AlphaGenome Atlas.
