Google DeepMind unveils AlphaGenome 2 for cell-type-specific DNA variant predictions

Google DeepMind announced AlphaGenome 2 on November 11, 2026, a deep-learning model that predicts how DNA variants affect gene regulation in specific cell types and states, roughly doubling causal variant recall over its predecessor. It is available via API for non-commercial use.
