Artificial Intelligence Becomes More Accurate in Studying Genetic Diseases — What AlphaGenome 2 Can Do

Google DeepMind has presented an updated DNA sequence analysis model, AlphaGenome 2. With its help it is possible to predict how genetic variants affect different types of human cells. In this way, researchers study the genetic mechanisms that cause diseases. The new model is an improved version of the original AlphaGenome, which reflects the molecular activity of many different tissues — in both the coding and non-coding regions of the genome.
