it's aliiveeeeeee thank you @arcinstitute @santimillef et. al.
Excited to share this work from my PhD! See our structure below of a computationally designed IL-21 mimic with anti-tumor efficacy in mice. A collaboration between the David Baker, Stephanie & Mike Dougan, Warren Leonard, and Chris Garcia labs.

Over the past week, @arcinstitute published three new discoveries that I’m very proud of. • The world's first functional AI-generated genomes. Using Evo 2 (the largest biology ML model ever trained, which Arc released in partnership with @nvidia in February), Arc scientists…
Excited to share that my PhD thesis work is out in @ScienceMagazine today. We demonstrate robust rearrangement of the human genome using bridge recombinases, performing programmable insertions, excisions, and inversions at megabase-scale.
Combine multimer structure prediction and an antibody language model to design de novo antibodies with nanomolar binding affinity. @santimillef @_jnwang @talaldotpdb @driscoll_cl @haoyu_dai_dhy @Xiaowei0402 @SynBioGaoLab @BrianHie
In another preprint from the @BrianHie Lab and @SynBioGaoLab, they introduce Germinal, a generative AI system for de novo antibody design. Germinal produces functional nanobodies in just dozens of tests, making custom antibody design more accessible than ever before.
Great work by @BrianHie & @SynBioGaoLab labs. Looks like a big leap over SOTA with very clever bootstrapping of design & optimizing using multiple models with complementary strengths & weaknesses. Super expt. validation platform as well.

Still boggles my mind that we can leave frameworks as-is and only edit CDRs and still reliably get nM binders. Complete opposite of what I would have expected given how hard it is to graft CDRs from one FW to another (such as humanizing mouse mAbs). First RFantibody and now this

When structure-based models alone are too rigid and sequence-based models alone are not specific enough, put them together for a phenomenal antibody design tool!

Ensembles of models are unlocking new successes in de novo antibody design, congratulations to the team! The day these experiments first worked, the lab roared like a stadium.

Entering my PhD, de novo antibody design was a grand challenge I thought would not be solved without huge increases in affinity data and Ab-Ag structure. Only 2 years later, we provide the first open-source recipe to get antibody binders, almost magically, out of a computer (1/3)

Super excited to share what we’ve been working on in collaboration with @SynBioGaoLab over the past few months on de novo antibody design. Check out this great thread by our team lead @santimillef highlighting the technical aspects of the pipeline!

Efficient generation of epitope-targeted de novo antibodies with Germinal biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_synbio
Today, we report Germinal, a method for efficient de novo antibody design, with @santimillef and @SynBioGaoLab. Germinal achieves success rates of 4-22% across diverse epitopes. We make the work fully open, without doing lame things like posting a preprint without methods. 🧵
Having often dealt with binder-limited projects, we sought a more accessible source for nanobodies than yeast display or llama. Here we introduce Germinal, computationally designing antibody-like binders with such a hit rate that only tens need to be screened for each target.

We may have been making a lot of progress in genome design, but we are not done with protein design just yet lol
Scientists have created the first ever viruses designed by AI, and they’re capable of hunting down and killing strains of E. coli go.nature.com/4mppvIi
New from @arcinstitute: the first functional AI-generated genomes. This is a conceptual breakthrough, but it may also unlock new strategies for combating antibiotic resistance.
