A new version of Evo, the AI developed at the Arc Institute that can be used to design genomes as long as that of a bacterium, has been retrained with the DNA sequences of three domains of life – viruses, bacteria and eukaryotes.

In a recent publication in Cell, researchers from the National University of Singapore and collaborators have proposed using commensal bacteria in the nasal cavity as a delivery vector for precision therapy targeting the OE and brain.

Bind Research has launched as a not-for-profit focused research organization (FRO) with the aim of transforming disordered proteins into viable drug targets. The organization has secured financing from the U.K. Government’s Research Venture Catalyst program, with matched support from industry, philanthropic and charitable donors.

A large-scale study cross-referencing genomic data from multiple sources with primary care health records has identified genetic overlaps in 72 chronic diseases, opening the way for a more holistic approach to researching, treating and preventing multimorbidity.

Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. has expanded its relationship with Microsoft Corp. to broaden their AI-focused collaboration and build its Predictcell technology for predictive precision T-cell targeting.

Following Nobel Prize-winning chemist David Baker’s recipe for cooking an antidote to cobra venom using artificial intelligence (AI) could be faster and more effective than currently available methods. The ingredients and steps can be found in a new study published by the University of Washington scientist in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark. They are ready for the next steps in preclinical trials.

Circio Holding ASA has entered a partnership with 4basebio plc for joint development and in vivo delivery testing of synthetic Circvec DNA vectors.

An experimental tuberculosis (TB) vaccine with a dual mission – self-destruction after inducing immunity – improved the design of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy, a vaccine also used against cancer. Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh engineered this strain with a double break, which is effective and safer after an intravenous administration, according to their results in nonhuman primates and mice.

Fourteen global pharma companies are getting together to conduct the largest proteomics study to date, analyzing 600,000 blood samples held in the UK Biobank to assess the levels of 5,400 different proteins.
