Google's AI genome system evaluates every possible one-base change

On Tuesday, Google announced AlphaGenome Atlas , a resource that attempts to predict the consequences of every possible single-base variant in the human genome. The human genome is about 3 billion bases long, so trying the other three DNA bases that don't appear in our reference genome means sending a total of 9 billion bases through AlphaGenome software. AlphaGenome is designed to identify potential functions of non-coding DNA, which does not encode proteins but makes up the vast majority of th
