📈Surreal to see Basecamp Research on the NYSE after being named one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies.
Most biology hasn’t been discovered — but we act like it has. We’re working to map the unknown 99% with the Trillion Gene Atlas.
Grateful for our incredible team and collaborators. 🚀
AI mastered Go. Then language. Now it’s learning to write DNA.
At SXSW, Basecamp Research CEO @glengowers.bsky.social joined Microsoft’s Alicia Frame and UPenn’s @delafuentelab.bsky.social to unpack what that actually means in practice.

We’re launching the Trillion Gene Atlas with Anthropic, NVIDIA, PacBio, and UltimaGenomics.
🌍 The Goal: To expand known genomes 100×, sequencing 100M+ species to build foundation models grounded in evolution itself.

If you saw the amazing man cures dog story, today at #SXSW - we'll be unpacking the AI and science behind a potential new wave of cures. Please join us for "Decoding Nature: How AI is Learning to Program Biology"

In 2019, Glen Gowers and Oliver Vince brought a solar-powered DNA sequencing lab into the field and found that more than half the data had never been seen before.
That insight became @basecamp-research.bsky.social: a platform built on the idea that biological discovery depends on context.
When Basecamp Research Co-founder Oliver Vince mentioned to the BBC that our EDEN AI models were trained on data from 1M+ new species, it caught a listener’s attention.
The BBC’s More or Less dug into the story.

Nature has evolved solutions to survive the impossible, imagine what it could do for us 🧊
We're thrilled to have signed a new, expanded collaboration agreement with the British Antarctic Survey (@bas.ac.uk) as part of our work building the Trillion Gene Atlas.

📰 @elpais.com speaks with @delafuentelab.bsky.social — the first academic pioneer to work with EDEN, our evolutionary foundation model trained on 10B novel genetic sequences from 1M+ species. In the lab, it generated antimicrobial peptides with 97% success.
