The model can interpret genetic mutations and provide insights into their functional consequences, which is state-of-the-art in computational biology.

We are training models inspired by evolutionary forces to connect biological sequences directly to their functions, leveraging the effects of natural selection through DNA mutations.

Our model, EVO, is designed to predict the next base in a DNA sequence, which can determine health outcomes, such as the presence of sickle cell anemia mutations.

The cost of sequencing a genome has drastically decreased, allowing for the creation of virtual models of individuals to better understand their biology and health.

While there are data constraints in machine learning, we can still make significant progress in biology with the existing data, and there's a massive opportunity to generate new data tailored for machine learning applications.

Machine learning for biology is not limited to drug design; it encompasses a broader potential that significantly impacts human lives.

There's a significant opportunity in generating in vivo data, which is currently limited, to better understand drug interactions in real biological systems, and we're seeing breakthroughs in data-generating technology in biology and chemistry that will significantly impact how we model these fields.

Biology is fundamentally digital; every organism is made up of sequences of DNA, and understanding how to program that DNA allows us to design biology to perform specific tasks.

Generative models are essential for navigating the vast molecular space, allowing us to explore potential designs that could lead to effective therapeutics.
