Reads a million letters of DNA at once and predicts how a mutation changes gene regulation, splicing and chromatin.
AlphaGenome is Google DeepMind's long-context sequence model with multi-task regulatory heads, which reads up to a million bases of DNA and predicts, at single-base resolution, how variants change gene expression, splicing, chromatin accessibility and other regulatory signals in one model. It launched as a preview API in June 2025, and the Nature paper followed in January 2026. By unifying tasks that previously needed separate models it is relevant to interpreting non-coding cancer drivers in enhancers, promoters and splice sites. It is for research use, and cancer-specific validation is ongoing, so its predictions remain hypotheses to test rather than clinical evidence. For a newcomer: AlphaGenome reads long stretches of DNA and predicts how a mutation outside a gene would change the gene's behaviour.
