*Yesterday the journal nature published the following article, I think it's an important step towards Drexler style Nanotechnology .*
*‘ChatGPT for CRISPR’ creates new gene-editing tools <https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01243-w?utm_source=Live+Audience&utm_campaign=cd02bd946d-nature-briefing-daily-20240430&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b27a691814-cd02bd946d-50169436>* *I found these quotes to be especially interesting:* *“It’s really just scratching the surface. It’s showing that it’s possible to design these complex systems with machine-learning models, the first successful editing of the human genome by proteins designed entirely with machine learning"says Ali Madani, a machine-learning scientist and chief executive of the biotechnology firm Profluent. Because CRISPR gene-editing systems comprise not only proteins, but also RNA molecules that specify their target, Madani’s team developed another AI model to design these guide RNAs"* *"The most promising Cas9 protein — a molecule they’ve named OpenCRISPR-1 — was just as efficient at cutting targeted DNA sequences as a widely used bacterial CRISPR–Cas9 enzyme, and it made far fewer cuts in the wrong place. The researchers also used the OpenCRISPR-1 design to create a base editor — a precision gene-editing tool that changes individual DNA ‘letters’ — and found that it, too, was as efficient as other base-editing systems, as well as less prone to errors."* See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> l8c -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
