Google Research unveils NucleoBench and AdaBeam for AI-driven nucleic acid design

Google Research, in collaboration with Move37 Labs, has introduced NucleoBench, a new open-source benchmark for evaluating nucleic acid sequence design algorithms. This benchmark, which involved over 400,000 experiments across 16 biological challenges, aims to standardize the evaluation process for AI models used in drug discovery. The research also unveiled AdaBeam, a novel hybrid design algorithm that demonstrated superior performance on 11 out of 16 tasks compared to existing methods, particularly in scaling with long sequences and large predictive models.
