Any clue about Ginkgo's use of AI in their cellular squid games? I recently read AI 2041, which discussed the current and future prevalence of AI in medicine creation.
I don't think Ginkgo goes into depth about how exactly AI plays into their design process, and hence I can't speak to it very much. My understanding is that algorithms/analyses are used to predict functional data (how DNA sequences will actually function when expressed) and model how organisms will grow at scale.
GInkgo did try making their own products. Rose oil was the one I remember. Maybe they still do? Either way, didn't turn out to be a hit. With regards to Synlogic - take a look at the stock price chart since the collaboration with Ginkgo was announced. Clearly doesn't look like the market thinks it's going anywhere.
Thank you Christina, I would appreciate a part 3 on Ginkgo. I support your cautious assessment of ginkgo
Appreciate it and glad you found it helpful!

Haha so I see my Squid Game analogy stuck 😂

If you're interested in AI drug development, I came across this thread of some companies you may want to look into: https://twitter.com/Biotech2k1/status/1454424464284848134?s=20
I'm intrigued myself and may want to write about what I learn.

I thought they had collaborated with some big fragrance companies like Robertet in the early days for rose oil? https://www.synbiowatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Rose_Oil_CS_ETC.pdf
Synlogic has been historically undervalued I feel… Ginkgo has certainly overshadowed them in terms of messaging and marketing.
