discovery gets more expensive every year, not less.

We've unlocked experimental abundance in genomics (reading DNA) but nowhere else yet in a general way -- especially once you include any DNA design in the mix.

Need to really get to work on this problem !!

We need experimental abundance in bioengineering.

So much of biological science is trying to squeeze as much learning as possible out of a very small amount of raw experimental data -- because making that data is insanely expensive. We're hitting the limits of that approach -- this is why drug 🧡

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

Headed to SLAS (Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening) in San Diego !

What lab automation do you find useful / innovative ? Let me know in comments and I'll check it out and post after SLAS.

Ginkgo's new reconfigurable automation carts at booth # 2651 ! Come visit!

Excited to launch public data sets on commercial treatments and human cell lines and making available to folks training AI models in biology.

Please download below and play around ! We can also make custom sets for your cell line or perturbation of interest !

Any practicing scientists including Geneformer in your workflow?

Just curious if starting to see scientists at the bench using models like this to explore possible experiments in silico before deciding what experiments to subsequently do in the lab.

You’d just want to build something bigger once you’ve solved gene design w AI. We still need better synthesis

Yeah this is something I want to do β€” help elevate the internal automation experts in biotech companies to more powerful voices in their orgs. You are correct they don’t often have the needed power today to effect change in how R&D is done.

The PETase Mask Fill Challenge How to Engineer Protein Sequences with AA-0 and the Ginkgo AI API

I made a demo notebook and recorded a video tutorial for how to use the AA-0 protein sequence model from Ginkgo AI

In the PETase Mask Fill Challenge, we compare the performance of 3 different models for modifying a plastic-degrading enzyme
