ProfluentBio Launches OpenCRISPR: AI-Generated Gene Editor with Modest Impact

Apr 23, 2024, 01:49 AM

ProfluentBio has announced the launch of OpenCRISPR, a groundbreaking open-source AI-generated gene editor. Developed using ProfluentBio's large language models, this tool includes a Cas9-like protein and guide RNA, designed to edit human DNA with modest on-target activity. The initiative, which aims to democratize access to gene editing technology, has the potential to revolutionize biomedicine but is not expected to impact clinical editing in the next 3 years. The sequences and molecules designed by AI have been freely released under the OpenCRISPR initiative, marking a significant milestone in personalized medicine.
