DeepMind releases AlphaGenome Atlas scoring all 9bn single-letter human DNA changes
Google DeepMind precomputed AlphaGenome's regulatory predictions for every possible single-nucleotide variant in the human genome, a roughly one-petabyte resource covering coding and non-coding DNA. It adds a single AlphaGenome Variant Impact score and a no-code web portal; early users include a Broad Institute rare-disease team and a researcher who applied it to UK Biobank data from more than 54,000 participants.
Why it matters
Free, precomputed variant-effect predictions lower the barrier for clinical genetics and rare-disease research worldwide.
