Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome Atlas on 2026-09-08, a 1PB dataset containing predicted molecular effects for approximately 9 billion possible single-letter DNA changes in the human genome. [^1]

The database provides precomputed predictions for 9 billion single nucleotide variants, allowing researchers to access the data via a browser. [^2] Pushmeet Kohli, vice president of science at Google DeepMind, stated in a press briefing on 2026-09-08 that this is the first comprehensive map of the human genome and its variations accessible to any researcher via a browser. [^3]

Žiga Avsec, genomics lead at Google DeepMind, noted that the AVI score included in the release serves as a starting point for researchers to prioritize variants when studying diseases. [^4]
