## Summary

Google DeepMind introduces AlphaGenome 2, an AI model that examines specific cells to help scientists understand what drives disease. The post says the same DNA sequence is shared across heart, brain, and immune cells, yet a single-letter change can affect disease in some cells but not others.

## Post

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. 🧵
