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.

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.

LLM-Driven Algorithm Design for Quantum Circuit Synthesis based on Binary Decision Diagrams
QuantumEvo uses an LLM to evolve BDD variable-ordering heuristics, achieving a 70.9% tie-or-win rate on quantum circuit cost versus baseline methods.
The QuantumEvo framework uses an LLM as a heuristic generator for quantum-cost-aware BDD variable ordering in reversible circuit synthesis, searching over heuristics initialized from multiple families and selecting them by downstream quantum circuit cost. The discovered heuristic HGA-QE modifies the sifting step inside a genetic algorithm and achieves a 70.9% tie-or-win rate against the per-function best baseline, with strict wins on 13.5% of functions. Advantages are clearer on benchmark suites not used for heuristic discovery.

Ukraine to give Britain access to battlefield data to train AI
Ukraine agreed to give the UK access to battlefield data from Avengers AI Labs to train and test defense AI systems.
Ukraine and the UK signed an agreement making Britain the first foreign partner with access to Avengers AI Labs, a Ukrainian defense ministry platform holding about 5 million battlefield images and video frames drawn largely from the DELTA battlefield management system. Systems trained on this data analyze more than 100,000 drone video feeds per month and help identify roughly 70% of enemy targets in real time. Pilot projects are already underway with Sintela, Mind Foundry and Skyral, and the first technology is expected to protect a British defense facility, with potential expansion to airports, prisons, railways and energy infrastructure.
