It's "shareholder-linked" (probably not "driven"), but yes, upvoted. Nonetheless, even when with grave faults in the path, Google has managed to give us marvellous, paramount free resources (Google Street, Google Museum...), and would have given more (Google Books - if the negotiation had succeeded). I am grateful.
the Google DeepMind PR team can't catch a break, shame it makes no sense to me - if someone's in the field maybe they could explain to the rest of us if this is a big deal, just a PR move, or nah?
not my field so I can't judge how useful it is but assuming this data can be used for drug discovery and their ToS limiting to non-commercial use only. Does DeepMind plan on selling this data to pharmaceutical companies?
Videos. [2] is for the scientists to start using AlphaGenome Atlas from AntiGravity.

This Google blog post is a distilled version of a Deep Mind blog post:

They are only announcing a cache. The origin for the cache is not discussed.
In particular, the question of whether to trust the predictions is not addressed. For that, I think the citation is from January:

I really love Deep Mind, its genuinely focused on using AI to make the world a better place.
Be careful when loving shareholder-driven endeavors; they're a single executive decision away from breaking your heart.

No AI company is doing that. There is some benefits but that’s not what any AI for profit will ever focus upon
DeepMind objectively is doing that. The world is not so black and white as "evil profit-hungry corporations will never do anything good".

Just wait a few months, if it is a big deal that will likely be obvious by then
i like this way of thinking ;)

Probably. I know Google has partnerships with Pharma: https://www.merck.com/news/merck-and-google-cloud-partner-to...
Individual SNP predictions are not useful for drug discovery. Pharma might license this, but mainly out of fear of missing out.
My understanding is that they already are, via Isomorphic Labs
It's a bigger deal for diagnostics than for drug development.
Hopefully. Tired, as a shareholder, to see the giveaways that deepmind is doing.
Astroturfing, eh? This is verbatim the same comment as another user in this thread. Strange...
PunchTornado was first, fr2029 was second
i made no such comment. reported for harassment.
An atlas of the human genome from the company whose other atlas still routes me into a lake.
Google doing work to uncover the pandoras box of genetics? How long before they shove this under the rug...
