## Overview
**Disclaimer:** *Experimental*.
*The AlphaGenome Private Preview is a "Pre-GA Offering" subject to the "Pre-GA
Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Google Cloud
[Service Specific Terms](https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms). It is
also a “Generative AI Preview Product” as defined in and subject to the
[Additional Terms for Generative AI Preview Products](https://cloud.google.com/trustedtester/aitos?e=48754805&hl=en).
Pre-GA products are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more
information, see the [launch stage](https://cloud.google.com/products?e=48754805#product-launch-stages)
descriptions.*
Access to the AlphaGenome model capabilities requires application and approval.
Users must be added to an allowlist to use the service.
If you are interested in applying to the program, **Request Access** above.
 
AlphaGenome is Google DeepMind’s unifying model for deciphering the regulatory
code within DNA sequences.
AlphaGenome offers multimodal predictions, encompassing diverse functional
outputs such as gene expression, splicing patterns, chromatin features, and
contact maps (see diagram below). The model analyzes DNA sequences of up to 1
million base pairs in length and can deliver predictions at single base-pair
resolution for most outputs.
Training data was sourced from large public consortia including
[ENCODE](http://encodeproject.org/), [GTEx](https://www.gtexportal.org/),
[4D Nucleome](https://4dnucleome.org/) and
[FANTOM5](https://fantom.gsc.riken.jp/5/), which experimentally measured these
properties covering important modalities of gene regulation across hundreds of
human and mouse cell types and tissues.

## Use Cases
* **Predict outputs for a DNA sequence:** AlphaGenome is a model that makes
predictions from DNA sequences. AlphaGenome predicts multiple 'tracks' per
output type, covering a wide variety of tissues and cell-types.
* **Open-vocabulary object retrieval:** AlphaGenome can make predictions for
a human reference genome sequence specified by a genomic interval.
For example, let's predict RNA-seq for tissue 'Right liver lobe' in a 1MB
region of Chromosome 19 around the gene CYP2B6, which encodes an enzyme
involved in drug metabolism, and is primarily expressed in the liver.
* **Predict variant effects:** AlphaGenome can predict the effect of a
variant on a specific output type and tissue by making predictions for the
reference (REF) and alternative (ALT) allele sequences.
* **Scoring the effect of a genetic variant:** AlphaGenome can score the
effect of a genetic variant by making predictions for the REF and ALT
sequences and aggregating the track signal. To highlight which regions in a
DNA sequence are functionally important for a final variant prediction,
AlphaGenome can help you to perform an in silico mutagenesis (ISM) analysis
by scoring all possible single nucleotide variants in a specific interval.
* **Human and mouse predictions:** AlphaGenome can generate predictions for
both humans and mouse.
## Documentation
This API provides access to AlphaGenome, Google DeepMind's unifying model for
deciphering the regulatory code within DNA sequences. AlphaGenome offers
multimodal predictions, encompassing diverse functional outputs including gene
expression, splicing patterns, chromatin features, and contact maps (see diagram
below). The model analyzes up to 1 million base pairs of DNA sequence and can
deliver predictions at single base-pair resolution for most modalities.
AlphaGenome achieves state-of-the-art performance across a range of genomic
prediction benchmarks, including diverse variant effect prediction tasks.
The Google Cloud API for AlphaGenome provides a way for Google Cloud customers
to explore the AlphaGenome API for commercial use cases. This API is in private
preview (Request Access above). Once allowlisted, customers can access the API
directly or use the [colab](cloudai_alphagenome_vai_quickstart.ipynb).
