Abstract: A protein language natural language processing (NLP) system is trained to predict specific biophysiochemical properties. Amino acids of proteins are tokenized and masked. A first neural network is trained on a library of amino acid sequences in an unsupervised or self-supervised manner. The information obtained from the first phase of training is applied in a subsequent training operation via transfer learning, to a second neural network. In aspects, an annotated compact dataset is used to fine-tune the second neural network in a second phase of training, and in a supervised manner, to predict biophysiochemical properties of proteins, including TCR-epitope binding.

Abstract: Reanalysis of the SIMPLIFY 1 and 2 trials data indicates MMB is effective in JAKi-naïve patients and in second line therapy to RUX, providing benefits of reducing enlarged spleens, improving myelofibrosis-related symptoms, and increasing transfusion independence in patient at risk for thrombocytopenia from the underlying disease and RUX therapy. Accordingly, methods of treating myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) such as myelofibrosis are described. The methods can include administering a therapeutically effective amount of momelotinib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a subject identified as having (i) myelofibrosis and (ii) a platelet count of less than 150×109/L.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for engineering a host cell comprising the steps of; a) integrating a first polynucleotide cassette including a first selection marker flanked by a first pair of recombination sites; b) removing the first selection marker by the action of a recombinase which recognises the first pair of recombination sites; c) integrating a second polynucleotide cassette including a second selection marker flanked by a second pair of recombination sites; and d) removing the second selection marker by the action of a recombinase which recognises the second pair of recombination sites. Also disclosed is a host cell genome polynucleotide comprising a first recombinantly engineered region and a second recombinantly engineered region, wherein a first single recombination site is adjacent to the first recombinantly engineered region, and a second single recombination site is adjacent to the second recombinantly engineered region.
