  • Publication number: 20230352118
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for candidate antibody exploration. The method includes receiving sequence reads from a sequencing system, wherein each sequence read comprises a target gene for expressing a candidate antibody, wherein each sequence read is associated with a binding affinity to a target antigen. The method includes generating a sequence representation for each sequence read, representing the amino acid sequences of the sequence read. The method includes training a binding affinity prediction model with the sequence representations and the binding affinities. The method includes generating a synthetic candidate sequence read that is different from the sequence reads. The method includes generating a sequence representation for the synthetic candidate sequence read.
