The first draft of the human genome turns 25 today! 🎂
On 26 June 2000, the UK & US announced the first full map of the 3 billion DNA base pairs that make us human.
🌍 A milestone for humanity, powered by global collaboration.

This a really exciting leap forward for genomic sequence to activity gene regulation models. It is a genuine improvement over pretty much all SOTA models spanning a wide range of regulatory, transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. 1/
Our AlphaGenome paper and models are out today! 🧬
I'm really excited to see how people use the model and build on top of it in their biology research🔬
Huge congratulations to the entire team!👏
Read the full paper and access the model:
📄 Paper: goo.gle/4bXlV6y
💻 Code: goo.gle/4k1xrzI
EMBL-EBI
Highlighting two manuscript additions:
1. Data ablation (Supp. Fig 12): RNA-seq + ATAC/DNase proved essential for key evals. h/t @anshulkundaje.bsky.social for the suggestion!
2. Variant Analysis: We found evidence to upgrade a 3’ UTR VUS from Ellingford et al 2022 to "likely pathogenic."
Finally, huge congratulations to the amazing team behind this work! 👏
AlphaGenome is out in @nature.com today along with model weights! 🧬

Excited to launch our AlphaGenome API goo.gle/3ZPUeFX along with the preprint goo.gle/45AkUyc describing and evaluating our latest DNA sequence model powering the API. Looking forward to seeing how scientists use it! @googledeepmind
