I am deeply honored by this recognition but must thank the many postdoctoral fellows and PhD and MD-PhD students in my lab over the years whose creativity and hard work made this possible.

🧬 ChatNT lets you talk to DNA, RNA & proteins My first honest thought was “who needs that? 🤔” turns out it’s built for non-coders 🧑‍🔬 It beats specialist models on 27 tasks and resets the Nucleotide-Transformer benchmark 🏆

I am incredibly sad to learn of the passing of Atul Butte. He was a true giant in our field and a profound inspiration to me and countless others. His vision and contributions have fundamentally shaped biomedical data science. I will miss his boundless energy. RIP my friend.

Excited to share #AlphaGenome, a start of our AlphaGenome named journey to decipher the regulatory genome! The model matches or exceeds top-performing external models on 24 out of 26 variant evaluations, across a wide range of biological modalities.1/6
