I first encountered Von Baer’s thought experiment in Richard Fisher’s book, The Long View. Thanks to decades of progress in molecular sequencing technologies, it is simple to read out the order of nucleotides in a DNA sequence, for example, or to quantify messenger RNAs as they are made by a cell.

That’s because proteins are made, in the laboratory, using synthetic DNA and cells; and DNA is expensive. Our machine would make proteins without using any DNA or cells. All cells make proteins in two steps: DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into protein.

Kickstarting the use of AI for biotechs: part two

Drug Target Review

2 AlphaFold 3 has been built to model DNA, RNA and smaller molecules (ligands). Google DeepMind’s new AI can model DNA, RNA, and ‘all life’s molecules’. He has published several papers and two books and has twelve issued patents. There are several technologies and specific tools being rolled out in this area.

Codon Digest: Seeing Colors After Gene Therapy

Codon

They’ve just finished sequencing the patient’s genome, but they don’t have “DNA sorting” software. And that’s how I learned that there are published books that contain entire chromosome sequences. A real book that contains the full sequence of human chromosome 21.

Codon Digest: Discovering Antibiotics with Deep Learning

Codon

This week: A way to measure a transgene’s expression in the brain using ultrasound, a DNA sequencing method that uses 1000x less reagents, and base editors get even smaller. An engineered version of this protein can convert DNA bases with efficiencies up to 92%. so this Digest will be published more irregularly.
