Google DeepMind's AlphaGenome 2 zooms in on individual cells ๐งฌ
The new AI model helps scientists see how a single-letter DNA change can drive disease in some cells while sparing others.
Quoting Google DeepMind (@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. ๐งต
Google DeepMind announced AlphaGenome 2, an AI model that predicts how a single-letter change in DNA can affect specific human cell types and states. The idea is to help scientists understand why the same DNA sequence in the heart, brain and immune system can lead to disease in some cells while sparing others. DeepMind says the model was trained on more than 100 million single-cell profiles across 68 tissues and can use researchers' own single-cell data to condition its predictions.
