Google DeepMind unveils AlphaGenome Atlas predicting effects of 9 billion human genome variants
Google DeepMind has unveiled AlphaGenome Atlas, a database that predicts the molecular effects of about 9 billion possible single-letter DNA variants in the human genome. It aims to help researchers quickly prioritise disease-related variants and analyse biological impacts to support genomics research and drug development. The atlas extends predictions beyond protein-coding regions into non-coding DNA and provides an AlphaGenome Variant Impact score combining AlphaGenome and AlphaMissense outputs.

Without data, AI cannot deliver as companies overlook storage management
AI investment is rising quickly, but many companies still struggle to secure measurable returns. Global AI spending this year is forecast to rise 47 percent to $259 billion, while only 28 percent of AI projects generate a measurable return on investment. As AI moves from pilots to large-scale deployment, data collection, storage, access and management become critical. The article highlights tiered storage and early compliance planning as key, warning that weak storage can leave costly GPUs idle.

Why even happy memories fade: brain\'s selective storage mechanism identified
A study suggests people forget even pleasant memories not because the brain runs out of storage, but because it selectively takes in information and continuously reconstructs memories. Anatomy professor Michelle Spear at the University of Bristol said memory can differ widely between people even after the same experience. The brain does not store experiences like a computer and instead filters what to keep based on attention and emotion, then rebuilds memories during recall.
