AlphaGenome

Google
restricted / Overall score: 2.0

AlphaGenome is Google DeepMind's genomic sequence model for predicting gene expression, splicing, chromatin features, contact maps, and variant effects. It accepts sequences up to one million base pairs and produces most outputs at single-base-pair resolution through an API, a precomputed Atlas, and a gated downloadable checkpoint.

The repository documents both API and local-checkpoint surfaces; the downloadable model remains subject to separate non-commercial terms.

AlphaGenome-Model-Terms(non-commercial use only)

The checkpoint is now downloadable after accepting terms, correcting the original API-only roster claim, but the terms prohibit commercial use and therefore cap the score at restricted.

Adoption

2 medium confidence
2.0

The gated Hugging Face endpoint reports zero downloads, so GitHub stars are used as the adoption signal instead.

Capability

2 high confidence
2.0

AlphaGenome's strength is its resolution span: sequences up to one million bases are resolved to single-base outputs. Its only input is a DNA sequence, so it does not also count as accepting multiple sensors, and no adaptation or generative pathway is documented beyond a broad prediction surface.
