DeepMind’s new AlphaGenome AI tackles the ‘dark matter’ in our DNA
- On June 25, 2025, Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaGenome, an AI model capable of processing up to one million DNA base pairs to predict non-coding variant effects.
- Since 98% of the human genome's non-coding regions remain poorly understood, decoding their functions has hindered disease variant interpretation.
- AlphaGenome outperforms 24 of 26 genomic benchmarks, processing up to one million base pairs using a U-Net transformer architecture.
- Following the June 25, 2025, API release, researchers worldwide can access AlphaGenome for non-commercial genomic research, potentially accelerating disease variant discovery.
- DeepMind's AlphaGenome, set to be expanded to other species and modalities, aims to advance long-term discoveries and improve disease variant interpretation globally.
