AlphaGenome 2 is helping uncover the cellular drivers of disease, giving scientists a powerful tool to predict how DNA variants impact specific cell types.
Every cell in our body shares the same DNA blueprint, but different cell types (like heart muscle cells vs. immune cells) read that blueprint differently. This new @GoogleDeepMind model predicts how these specialized cells interpret DNA, turning genetic code into biological insights.
Building on AlphaGenome 1 this makes it significantly easier for researchers to link genetic findings to the root causes of disease in the specific cells where they actually unfold.

@RadicalNumerics’ apology (https://t.co/83zNyw5Dt5) is a positive step. Rebuilding trust that this won't recur requires accountability & changes in how they handle collaborations & communications. The apology did not acknowledge their use of patient care for publicity without the care team’s consent, which remains a serious concern, demanding publicly-stated & believable preventative measures. The apology said "Tabula played a leading role ... including in AI" but followed with "Radical is an AI research lab, and our contribution was AI-generated phages." Whether this was actually a positive contribution relative to other models requires data (lack of which is yet another reason why their PR to @NYTimes 20-Oct was a poor choice https://t.co/eVgYRzzFo2). The experimental results I have reviewed show promising performance from @TabulaBio’s models, & I regard Tabula as a leader in AI-driven phage design.

I've seen the recent discussion around Radical Numerics, Tabula Bioscience, and George Church, and wanted to share some perspectives.
I wanted to share some context around the recent discussion of our phage work.
A few thoughts on the collaboration and the path forward.

Excited that @WorldUnivAndSch building on CC-4 #MITOCW in 7 languages, & in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program, just partnered, as a CSO, with the UN -https://t.co/TRklfTLEZO - via the #UNPartnerPortal - https://t.co/E2gbxXCKj6 - Where #UNAgencies and Civil Society Partners Connect
Not many are aware that Arthashastra was discovered in my hometown of Mysuru by my great great grandfather R.Shamasastry. https://t.co/EIfjPddPrT The manuscript can be seen in the Oriental Research Institute, where he was the director, along with many other priceless palm leaf manuscripts.
Happy 424th birthday to the Bodleian Library, which first opened #OnThisDay in 1602.
Today, it’s part of 22 libraries at the @UniofOxford, which together form the UK's largest academic library service, with more than 14 million printed items.
