Google Research, in collaboration with Move37 Labs, has introduced NucleoBench, an open-source benchmark designed to standardize the evaluation of algorithms for designing nucleic acid sequences. This benchmark facilitated the development of AdaBeam, a new hybrid algorithm that demonstrates superior performance on 11 out of 16 biological design tasks compared to existing methods. AdaBeam also exhibits better scaling properties for long sequences and large predictive models, aiming to accelerate drug discovery by improving the efficiency of generating optimal DNA and RNA sequences.
