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.

The democratization of cyber warfare — and what it means for CISOs

CSO Online argues AI is democratizing cyber warfare, citing Taiwan's first largely autonomous AI-driven attack that hit 85 government accounts.

CSO Online argues AI is accelerating the democratization of cyber warfare by collapsing cost and skill barriers, with effects already reaching the private sector. It cites the August disclosure of the first largely autonomous AI-enabled attack on Taiwan government infrastructure, where up to eight agents operating simultaneously compromised at least 85 government accounts and exfiltrated more than 2,500 personnel records before expanding to the nuclear safety agency and energy companies. The piece places this in a historical arc from crossbows to cheap drones and cites Kane Gamble's 2015 solo social-engineering compromise of senior US intelligence officials as evidence that low-resource attackers were already viable.
