The Verge: AlphaGenome 2 zooms in on the cellular roots of disease
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-11-11
The Verge covers Google DeepMind's AlphaGenome 2, successor to last year's genome-predicting AlphaGenome. The model unravels how DNA changes affect different cells, giving scientists a more detailed view of a notoriously hard problem that could reveal disease causes and point to new treatments. Different cell types — heart muscle, skin, immune cells — carry the same DNA but switch different genes on and off, and disruptions in those patterns underlie disease. Google also released the AlphaGenome Atlas.
