Out today in @sciencemagazine, Doudna lab researchers Petr Skopintsev, Isabel Esain Garcia, and alum Evan DeTurk describe a new #AI-assisted method for designing genome editors beyond those found in nature, with the potential for designing custom editors with specific properties. They tested close to 2,000 of the AI-generated variants in lab, with many showing similar or improved editing ability relative to conventional #CRISPR enzymes, across bacterial, plant, and human cells. 💡… #biotech #innovation #GenomeEditing @ucberkeleyofficial
