Genomic modeling and design have the potential to transform synthetic biology research. However, researchers face bottlenecks due to insufficient tools that fail to support a deep understanding of the vastly complicated information hidden in genomes. In this webinar brought to you by Twist Bioscience, Brian Hie will discuss training Evo2, a genomic foundation model, on 9.3 trillion nucleotides from over 128,000 genomes, as well as the model's capabilities in sequence optimization and zero-shot sequence generation. 

Topics to be covered:

  • How Evo2 was built and how it works
  • Recent projects leveraging Evo2, including new data
  • The future of Evo2 and genomic foundation models in sequence prediction and engineering
