New AI Model CoSiNE Enhances Antibody Engineering by Modeling Evolution

Researchers have developed CoSiNE, a novel deep learning model for antibody engineering that moves beyond traditional methods. Unlike approaches that treat antibody sequences as independent samples, CoSiNE explicitly models the evolutionary process, incorporating information from affinity maturation. This allows it to better capture complex epistatic interactions and disentangle selection from somatic hypermutation, outperforming current language models in variant effect prediction. AI

IMPACT This model could accelerate the discovery and optimization of therapeutic antibodies by providing a more accurate prediction of sequence evolution and binding affinity.

    Conditionally Site-Independent Neural Evolution of Antibody Sequences

    arXiv:2602.18982v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Common deep learning approaches for antibody engineering focus on modeling the marginal distribution of sequences. By treating sequences as independent samples, however, these methods overlook affinity maturation as a rich and l…
