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 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.
