What if we could autocomplete DNA based on function? Today in nature, we share semantic design—a strategy for function-guided design with genomic language models that leverages genomic context to create de novo genes with desired functions.🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…

My lobbyists are very nervous about me posting this, but over-regulation is working against us all. The costs are astronomical to us all, but hidden. So, I'm taking a risk, and sharing my stories from Charm and Revoy: rein.pk/over-regulatio…
