Check out our latest preprint from @jnvmartinson.bsky.social and @leosong.bsky.social! 🌟🦠 We found that conjugative plasmids can actively eliminate recipient bacteria that resist plasmid acquisition. 🧵

Heard our lab wrapped just dropped... 🎧🔬

We're excited to share our lab's first lead paper! We developed OriGen, a language model trained to generate plasmid origins of replication. 🔄🦠 The model generates sequences that are significantly different from wild type origins and, remarkably, they allow for replication in vivo. Read it here ⬇️

We are thrilled to share our latest work: OriGen--the first AI system to generate functional DNA replication sequences! ⬇️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
