🦣🧬 fantastic! Gene expression from mammoths! You can keep your AI basura — easily the best science I read all day #Beringia

Nextstrain is happy to announce a major update to our tuberculosis analysis, making it our first real-time (continually updated) analysis for a bacterial pathogen. Please see our new blog post for details: nextstrain.org/blog/2025-11-1…

Fascinating 🖖🧬

Fantastic! I feel better about the whole thing now. Onward and upward!

We’ll have an Americano with room for Arctic #Biosecurity, please. #Alaska 🇺🇸 UAA Oxford Nanopore

For most of the history of molecular biology, the experimental bottleneck has been so severe that we've learned to work around it rather than through it. The workaround is prediction. If you can only physically test a small number of molecules, you need to be good at guessing.

Nipah virus protein design competition update: The lab has been running nonstop for two weeks validating all 1,200 selected proteins. We’re now finalizing the last assays to make sure everything is properly validated, so we’re moving the results release to Wednesday, January

If you want to make proprietary data for your Bio AI model give @ginkgo a call. You own all the data / IP on data we generate for you with our robotics -- much faster than building your own lab!

“AI in bio is like GPT without the chat. GPT came out but it didn't explode until someone put the right interface on it.” Benchling CEO Sajith Wickramasekara joined TBPN to talk about why usability, and the right interface, is what will bring #AI into everyday scientific workflows.

Nah, come over to JURA Bio, Inc. and have variational synthesis go brrr. 100M+ of your AI designs tested for you in vitro. One example: jurabio.com/mesa

6. Ginkgo Bioworks is going to market today with autonomous labs in two ways: (1) We will build you an autonomous lab! You can have a setup as big as we have in boston in 6-12 months if you call me today. A small system can go in in a matter of weeks. Nothing more special than a

Finding a novel pathogen, whether natural or engineered, is just the first step to effective #biodefense. Imperative we refund and advance #mRNA and other warp-speed biotechnology in the lab, to rapidly develop vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics. #SBIR/#STTR.

We connected our autonomous lab to OpenAI's GPT-5 and let it run 36,000 experiments. The result was a new state-of-the-art for Cell-Free Protein Synthesis that cut costs by 40% per gram of protein. You can now order the beta version for your own lab: reagents.ginkgo.bio

Yesterday, we announced that our autonomous lab, connected with OpenAI's GPT-5, beat the state-of-the-art in Cell-Free Protein Synthesis by 40%. This is how we did it. Watch OpenAI's Joy Jiao and Edmund Wong alongside our own Reshma Shetty as they explain how techniques like

1) We have a new preprint paper out about population immunity to H5N1 and H5N5. Results are in line with what others have seen but there are two new findings. medrxiv.org/content/10.648…
