  • Publication number: 20230054552
    Abstract: Humanizing proteins can be a laborious process, often involving trial and error or other non-systematic methods. To improve humanization, neural networks can be employed to generate new protein sequences having higher probabilities of being humanized. In an embodiment, a method includes evaluating the immunogenicity of a sampling of protein sequences. The method can include weighting the sampling of protein sequences from the generative model according to an estimated probability of a particular generated protein sequence having a deviation in immunogenicity than a particular percentile of immunogenicity of the sampling of protein sequences. The method can further include generating a protein sequence weighted sampling of protein sequences. The generated protein sequence representing a protein has an altered immunogenicity. Such a generated protein has a higher likelihood of being humanized.

  • Publication number: 20220122692
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, software, and methods for identifying associations between amino acid sequences and protein functions or properties. The application of machine learning is used to generate models that identify such associations based on input data such as amino acid sequence information. Various techniques including transfer learning can be utilized to enhance the accuracy of the associations.

  • Patent number: 10095842
    Abstract: Methods and systems for determining a set of control molecules for use in a combinatorial approach for the treatment of medical conditions, including providing one or more sets of control molecules, where each control molecule within the set acts on a set of targets and the number of control molecules within the one or more sets of control molecules is fewer than the number of targets within the sets of targets; and searching within the sets of control molecules to identify a subset of control molecules that together with a subset of targets form an artificial system to produce a biological effect through the modulation of the subset of targets.

  • Patent number: 7280869
    Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to an apparatus and method for determining whether an identified atrial tachyarrhythmia episode has terminated. The invention enables determination of whether the tachyarrhythmia episode has terminated based on cardiac beat pattern. In some embodiments of the invention, the determination as to whether the episode has terminated is made irrespective of the rate of atrial depolarizations.
