You can use the model right now to freely generate families for single sequence inputs (i.e., diversification conditioned by intrinsic representations of evolution), or to engineer proteins based on family promts (diversification by conditioning on particular evoluationary trajectories).
Deeply honored to be named a 2026 Beckman Young Investigator #BYI!🧬
