- AlphaGenome Atlas evaluations are developer-run: Evaluation actor All AVI and comparator evaluations were run by the AlphaGenome Atlas authors, led by Google DeepMind, which also develops AlphaGenome and AlphaMissense. Benchmark variants overlapping AVI training or validation positions are removed for all methods; comparator training sets were not filtered. (Author list and affiliations (page 1); Methods 'Overlap Filtering during Evaluation' (page 22))
- AlphaGenome Atlas values not extracted: Extraction gap Not extracted: Fig. 2A and 2B bar labels other than those the text names (bars sorted by value and identified only by colour, so ClinVar SNV and indel overall AUPRCs and most comparator values are unattributed); fig. S7A ClinVar UTR, intronic and ncVar SNV-plus-indel bars (same problem); Fig. 2D and fig. S7D per-gene Spearman correlations (no printed values); fig. S7E and S7F precision at 90% recall (no printed values); Fig. 3A curve labels at K other than 50 (attributed by colour); TraitGym Complex comparator value 0.27 (the text does not name the method); all 95% bootstrap confidence intervals (drawn, not printed). (Fig. 2 (page 6), Fig. 3A (page 9), fig. S7 (page 57))
- AlphaGenome Atlas: indel scoring with shift augmentation: Indel scoring Atlas scores indels with three forward passes: the reference-aligned pass, a pass shifted to align bases after the variant, and the unstitched allele; the base-resolution embeddings are stitched before the heads. Coarse 128 bp and 2,048 bp bins are shifted from the final bin the indel ends in. (Methods 'Indel Scoring', 'Indel shift augmentation', 'Base Resolution', 'Coarse Resolution' (pages 19 to 20))
- AlphaGenome Atlas: variant offset from the input centre: Scoring setup Atlas scores use a 1 Mb input centred on each 128 bp window, so variants sit up to 64 bp from the centre. The authors re-ran the AlphaGenome paper evaluations with variants at their windowed positions and report no statistically significant difference in any evaluation metric. (Methods 'Sliding Window Approach' and 'Reference Prediction Caching' (pages 18 to 19))
- Random-classifier AUPRC printed for the pooled SGE evaluations: Random baseline auprc fig. S7E legend prints 'Baseline (0.146)' for SNVs; fig. S7F legend prints 'Baseline (0.194)' for SNVs and indels. (fig. S7E and S7F legends (page 57))

- SHA-256 of one retrieval of the medRxiv PDF. A second retrieval at 2026-10-19T12:30:54Z had the same length (15,415,633 bytes) and the same SHA-256.
- limitations
- Preprint, not peer reviewed (medRxiv v1; the medRxiv API 'published' field was not checked against a journal version).; Developer study: the AlphaGenome Atlas team is led by Google DeepMind, which also develops AlphaGenome and AlphaMissense. All evaluations, including those of comparator methods, were run by the authors.; Fig. 2A and 2B print bar labels but identify the predictor of each bar only by colour; those labels are not extracted. Only values the text attributes to a named method, and figure legends that name the method, are recorded.; No numeric confidence intervals are printed. Fig. 2 error bars are 95% bootstrap intervals (100 bootstraps) drawn without values.; Data S1 (DNM1 screen) and the precomputed Atlas scores were not retrieved.
