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/
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
