Google DeepMind releases AlphaGenome 2 to predict cell-type-specific DNA variant effects
AIGoogle DeepMind announces AlphaGenome 2, a conditional model that predicts how DNA variants affect specific human cell types. It identifies nearly twice as many causal variants as the original model in the TenK10K immune-cell dataset, 30% versus 16%.
AIWhy it matters.
The post explains how conditioning on cell type changes variant predictions, with a concrete IBD example, useful for judging how such models fit genetics research.
