Google's AI genome system evaluates every possible one-base change

Google's AlphaGenome AI system predicts functional effects of non-coding DNA variants in humans and mice.

Google's AlphaGenome AI system evaluates genomic sequences to predict gene expression, transcription factor binding, chromatin accessibility, splice site usage, and related genomic features. The system is currently limited to human and mouse sequences and a limited set of well-studied cell types, but its predictions generally match or exceed specialized software tools. Researchers can use it to assess whether non-coding variants are likely significant and generate hypotheses about their function.

Deepmind's AlphaGenome Atlas maps every possible DNA change in the human genome

DeepMind's AlphaGenome Atlas precomputes impact predictions for ~9 billion human DNA variants in a 1-petabyte dataset; its AVI score beats CADD in benchmarks

Google DeepMind released the AlphaGenome Atlas, precomputing functional-effect predictions for roughly 9 billion human genome variants (about 27,000 prediction values per variant) in a one-petabyte dataset more than 30 times the size of the AlphaFold database. The accompanying AlphaGenome Variant Impact Score (AVI), a small neural network combining AlphaGenome, AlphaMissense and evolutionary conservation features (18 inputs versus CADD's 150+), outperformed existing tools on clinically classified variants, ranking causal variants in the top 50 candidates for 29.5% of solved GREGoR cases versus 12.5% for CADD. A GREGoR epilepsy case illustrates the impact: AVI elevated a previously unclear DNM1 splice variant that lab experiments confirmed as likely disease-causing. The atlas is available for noncommercial use via web portal, API and a Google Antigravity skill, with a commercial version planned through Google Cloud.

Google DeepMind Releases AlphaGenome Atlas With Precomputed Molecular Effect Predictions and AVI Scores for 9 Billion Human DNA Variants

Google DeepMind launched AlphaGenome Atlas, precomputing molecular effect predictions and AVI impact scores for ~9 billion human single-nucleotide variants in a 1-petabyte catalogue.

Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome Atlas, a 1-petabyte catalogue of precomputed molecular effect predictions for roughly 9 billion possible single-nucleotide variants in the human genome. It introduces the AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) score, combining AlphaGenome regulatory predictions with AlphaMissense, plus per-variant feature attributions and over 2,500 recurrent DNA sequence motifs. DeepMind reports best-in-class AVI performance on variant pathogenicity and rare disease benchmarks. Early users at the Broad Institute, University of Exeter, and Stowers Institute demonstrated rare-disease variant reprioritization and 22% more non-coding associations across 54,000+ UK Biobank genomes.

Google DeepMind Releases AlphaGenome Atlas

Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome Atlas, a 1-petabyte database pre-computing effects of all 9 billion single-nucleotide variants in the human genome, with a unified AVI score.

Google DeepMind launched AlphaGenome Atlas, a database that predicts the regulatory impact of every possible single nucleotide variant across the roughly 3 billion base pairs of the human genome, yielding a 1-petabyte dataset. It introduces the AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) score, combining coding and non-coding predictions for rapid variant prioritization. Broad Institute researchers used it to support solving an unsolved rare disease case via a predicted DNM1 splice variant, and analysis of 54,000+ UK Biobank participants uncovered 22% more non-coding genetic associations, including 19 regions linked to BMI. The Atlas is available through a no-code web portal.

AlphaGenome Atlas: A predictive map of every possible DNA letter change in the human genome

Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome Atlas, a free 1-petabyte platform predicting the molecular effects of all ~9 billion possible single-letter DNA variants.

Google DeepMind introduced AlphaGenome Atlas, containing precomputed predictions for the effects of roughly 9 billion single-nucleotide variants across the human genome, spanning hundreds of human and mouse cell types. The 1-petabyte dataset is more than 30 times larger than the AlphaFold Database and includes an AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) score combining AlphaGenome and AlphaMissense predictions for both coding and non-coding regions. External collaborators have already used it to identify and experimentally verify variants in unsolved rare disease research. It is available via a free web portal, the AlphaGenome API, and as a skill in Google Antigravity.

Google’s Atlas of the human genome could pave the way for new treatments

Google DeepMind launches AlphaGenome Atlas, a catalog of predicted molecular effects for roughly nine billion single-letter DNA changes across the human genome.

Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaGenome Atlas, a roughly 1-petabyte dataset predicting how each of about nine billion possible single-nucleotide variants affects molecular biology, including non-coding regions that regulate gene behavior. It builds on the AlphaGenome model released in 2025 and adds a Variant Impact Score (AVI) to help researchers rank variants. The catalog is available for noncommercial research via a web portal, the Antigravity platform, and the AlphaGenome interface, with commercial access on Google Cloud planned.
