## Quoted post @GoogleDeepMind

> Your heart, brain, and immune system share the same DNA sequence. So how can a single-letter change affect disease in some cells, while sparing the rest?
> 
> AlphaGenome 2 is our new AI model that zooms in on specific cells to help scientists understand what drives disease. 🧵
