Thrilled to launch RamaX: our platform for ultra-fast, accurate, and sensitive screening of massive binder libraries (from 1K to 1B minibinders, VHHs, or scFvs) in just 1-2 weeks. This method has been an absolute game-changer for us at @diffuse_bio. Internally, we’ve completely switched from yeast display to RamaX for screening our designs. We’re also using RamaX to generate enormous datasets to train our protein generative models. 🧵 1/

RNA targeting small molecules This could substantially expand the druggable space, but designing specific & functional binders to RNA is difficult, as we lack quality RNA structures. Atomic AI has built a ML model to predict RNA tertiary structure to guide small molecule design

Excited to see this out! Atomic was built from the ground up to fuse both cutting-edge experimental work and AI, and the ATOM-1 foundation model is a beautiful example of this in action. Onwards and upwards to unlocking a whole new world of RNA-focused therapies! #ATOM1 #RNA

What are the functional roles of 3D genome organization? In a new preprint led by @_prashantbhat, we demonstrate a critical role for dynamic 3D organization of genomic DNA around nuclear speckles in controlling the efficiency of mRNA splicing. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
