Google DeepMind introduced AlphaGenome Atlas, a database that predicts the effects of every possible single nucleotide variant in the human genome. The Atlas uses the AlphaGenome AI model to pre-calculate the regulatory impact of all 9 billion single-letter genetic changes, resulting in a 1-petabyte dataset. It also introduces the AlphaGenome Variant Impact (AVI) score to help researchers prioritize variants for study.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-deepmind/alphagenome-atlas/:

> Today, we're introducing AlphaGenome Atlas , a database that predicts the effects of every possible single nucleotide variant in the human genome. We used the AlphaGenome AI model to pre-calculate the regulatory impact of all 9 billion single-letter genetic changes, resulting in a massive, 1-petabyte dataset.
