Very proud of the impact of all our work using AI to accelerate science and medicine for the benefit of society.
Today we have set out how we’re building AI to accelerate science and improve people’s lives. Just some examples in the last week or so:
- Mapped all 9B possible single letter genetic changes across the human genome with AlphaGenome Atlas and made it openly available to researchers.
- Billions of decisions depend on weather predictions so we introduced WeatherNext 3, our most accurate and capable global weather AI model to date.
- We published AI & Economy ATLAS, a comprehensive open-access look at how people are using AI globally.
- AI has enabled extraordinary advances in language translation. Today our services are available in nearly 300 languages, spoken by 7B people
We’re focusing our efforts on four key areas: health, natural disaster and weather resilience, learning, and economic opportunity. blog.google/innovation-and-a…
New Genome Toolkit. Part 4.7 – Testing, Reliable Errors, and Final Polish is out.
In this part, we add clear Genome Toolkit exception types and build our first automated test suite with pytest.

Genome Toolkit Part 4.6 is out!
We move from raw strings and primitive outputs to validated Sequence inputs and structured scientific results with metadata, parameters, outputs, provenance, and JSON serialization.

Genome Toolkit Part 4.5 is out!
We add FASTA support, discover records, parse identifiers and descriptions, and stream one selected sequence without loading unrelated records into memory.

Part 4.4 is out!
We add our first external sequence source, build a plain-text loader, introduce SequenceRecord, and connect loaded data to our validated DNA model while keeping the k-mer algorithms unchanged.

How to train your cells: check out our new platform!
In @drmichaellevin's lab, we aim to extend the growing field of single-cell learning to non-neural human cells, enabling scientists to study training techniques as a new approach to medicine and bioengineering
Genome Toolkit Part 4.3 is out!
We add validated biological models with Pydantic, build Sequence and DNA, normalize DNA, reject invalid symbols, and keep our k-mer workflow working.

Genome Toolkit Part 4.2 is out!
We modernize the project with uv, move to a proper src/ package structure, reorganize our k-mer algorithms, and verify that the scientific results stay exactly the same.

We’ve just published what we believe is the first clinical trial of a treatment for primary age-related sarcopenia in cats. 💊😼
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, our multi-target therapeutic showed significant positive effects on key measures of age-related muscle loss vs. placebo. 💪
A step toward treating one of the most consequential and under-studied manifestations of aging in cats.

"Michael's grown a two-headed planarian. He's hacked the chemical signalling for two-headedness."
"The question is, where did the information come from to tell the cells to do that stuff? It didn't come from evolution."
"There is no difference between the electron and the math. It's just what it is."
Going deep on the platonic space of minds with @DavidResnik1962. The philosopher working with @drmichaellevin
