AlphaGenome Atlas answers every possible one-letter question in the human genome in advance, roughly a petabyte of predictions. Noncommercial access opened Tuesday, commercial use waits on Google Cloud, and the launch write-up carries no accuracy number.

DeepMind precomputed all 9 billion single-letter genome changes into a free petabyte atlas
The AlphaGenome Atlas replaces a compute-heavy programming interface with a browser lookup for every possible single-base change in human DNA. The evidence that its impact score flags disease-linked mutations sits in two preprints.

Google DeepMind put 111 kilobytes of prediction behind each of 9 billion DNA variants
AlphaGenome Atlas scores every possible single-letter change in the human genome and hands the result to anyone with a browser, which moves the scarce input from computing a prediction to confirming one. Price and drug-developer partnerships go unmentioned in the release.

Google precomputes 9 billion variant predictions into a one-petabyte lookup
AlphaGenome Atlas turns per-variant inference into a table lookup and adds a ranking score, which changes what a genomics budget buys this quarter well before it changes what a clinic can act on.
