## Summary

Google DeepMind has released AlphaGenome 2, a DNA model that predicts variant effects in specific cell types through a 1 Mb input window and a target cell state. The model is available through a non-commercial API, with weights promised after final publication. According to the source's own benchmarks, it recovers 30% of causal variants at 90% precision on TenK10K single-cell eQTLs, versus 16% for the fine-tuned predecessor.
