alphagenome-pytorch 0.0.29

AlphaGenome

AlphaGenome (wip)

Implementation of AlphaGenome, Deepmind's updated genomic attention model

Appreciation

• Miquel Anglada-Girotto for contributing the organism, output embedding, and all the splicing prediction heads!

Install

$ pip install alphagenome-pytorch

Usage

The main unet transformer, without any heads

import torch
from alphagenome_pytorch import AlphaGenome

model = AlphaGenome()

dna = torch.randint(0, 5, (2, 8192))

# organism_index - 0 for human, 1 for mouse - can be changed with `num_organisms` on `AlphaGenome`

embeds_1bp, embeds_128bp, embeds_pair = model(dna, organism_index = 0) # (2, 8192, 1536), (2, 64, 3072), (2, 4, 4, 128)

Adding all types of output heads (thanks to @MiqG)

import torch
from alphagenome_pytorch import AlphaGenome, publication_heads_config

model = AlphaGenome()

model.add_heads(
    'human',
    num_tracks_1bp = 10,
    num_tracks_128bp = 10,
    num_tracks_contacts = 128,
    num_splicing_contexts = 64, # 2 strands x num. CURIE conditions
)

dna = torch.randint(0, 5, (2, 8192))

organism_index = torch.tensor([0, 1]) # the organism that each sequence belongs to
splice_donor_idx = torch.tensor([[10, 100, 34], [24, 546, 870]])
splice_acceptor_idx = torch.tensor([[15, 103, 87], [56, 653, 900]])

# get sequence embeddings

embeddings_1bp, embeddings_128bp, embeddings_pair = model(dna, organism_index, return_embeds = True) # (2, 8192, 1536), (2, 64, 3072), (2, 4, 4, 128)

# get track predictions

out = model(
    dna,
    organism_index,
    splice_donor_idx = splice_donor_idx,
    splice_acceptor_idx = splice_acceptor_idx
)

for organism, outputs in out.items():
    for out_head, out_values in outputs.items():
        print(organism, out_head, out_values.shape)

# human 1bp_tracks torch.Size([2, 8192, 10])
# human 128bp_tracks torch.Size([2, 64, 10])
# human contact_head torch.Size([2, 4, 4, 128])
# human splice_probs torch.Size([2, 8192, 5])
# human splice_usage torch.Size([2, 8192, 64])
# human splice_juncs torch.Size([2, 3, 3, 64])

# initialize published AlphaGenome for human and mouse
model = AlphaGenome()
model.add_heads(**publication_heads_config['human'])
model.add_heads(**publication_heads_config['mouse'])
total_parameters = sum(p.numel() for p in model.parameters()) # 259,459,534 (vs ~450 million trainable parameters)

Contributing

First install locally with the following

$ pip install '.[test]' # or uv pip install . '[test]'

Then make your changes, add a test to tests/test_alphagenome.py

$ pytest tests

That's it

Vibe coding with some attention network is totally welcomed, if it works
