AlphaGenome 2: Google AI for Genomic Research

Google DeepMind has launched AlphaGenome 2, an advanced AI model designed to understand how changes in DNA influence human cells. Trained on more than 100 million cell profiles, the model can identify nearly twice as many gene expression-altering genetic variants as its predecessor in benchmark tests. The development aims to help researchers better understand the relationship between genetic changes and cellular behaviour.

Unlike its predecessor, AlphaGenome 2 can analyse DNA variations within specific cell types, including those associated with diseases. It also enables researchers to study previously unseen cell types without retraining the model. The technology is available through an API for non-commercial research, while commercial access remains in private preview, opening new possibilities for AI-driven genomics research.
