How Our AI-Driven Aptamer Design Works
✅ Result: 50% faster development and 10-100x higher sensitivity vs. traditional SELEX methods
- Target Analysis & Sequence Profiling
- AI Target Binding Prediction: Our algorithms analyze the 3D structure, charge distribution, and biochemical properties of your target molecule (protein, small molecule, cell marker).
- Epitope Mapping: Machine learning identifies optimal binding regions (e.g., hydrophobic pockets, charged residues) to maximize aptamer affinity.
- In Silico Aptamer ScreeningIn Silico Screening
- Generative AI Design: We use neural networks to generate millions of potential aptamer sequences tailored to your target.
- Affinity & Specificity Scoring: ML models rank sequences based on:
- Binding energy – Predicts strongest interactions.
- Cross-reactivity risk – Filters out sequences that may bind non-specifically.
- Stability – Checks for nuclease resistance (critical for diagnostic biosensors).
- Lab Validation & Optimization
- High-Throughput Screening (HTS): Top AI-predicted aptamers are synthesized and tested via:
- Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) – Measures real-time binding kinetics.
- Electrochemical Testing – Validates performance in biosensor formats (e.g., graphene electrodes).
- Iterative Refinement: AI retrains on wet-lab data to improve future designs.
- Biosensor Integration
- Ready-to-Use Aptamer Probes: We deliver functionalized aptamers (e.g., thiol-modified for gold electrodes) compatible with:
- Electrochemical aptasensors (impedance, voltammetry).
- Optical biosensors (fluorescence, colorimetric).
- Lateral flow assays (point-of-care diagnostics).

Traditional SELEX | AI-Driven Design |
Takes 6+ months | Weeks to design |
High lab costs | Reduces wet-lab experiments by 70% |
Limited sequence diversity | Explores billions of sequences in silico |
Yes! They are cheaper, faster, and portable for:
- Medical diagnostics (e.g., cardiac biomarkers, viral detection).
- Food safety (e.g., Salmonella, mycotoxins).
- Environmental monitoring (e.g., heavy metals in water).
Our AI-optimized aptamers achieve picomolar (pM) sensitivity—comparable to antibodies. Example:
- COVID-19 spike protein: Detected at 0.1 pM in saliva.
- Glucose monitoring: Continuous detection in <5 sec.
We provide pre-functionalized aptamers with:
- Thiol groups (for gold electrodes).
- Biotin tags (for streptavidin-coated surfaces).
- Fluorescent dyes (for optical detection).
Yes! Unlike antibodies, aptamers:
- Survive freeze-thaw cycles.
- Last years at room temperature (lyophilized form).
- Resist denaturation in harsh conditions.
Absolutely. We engineer aptamers with:
- Signal reporters (e.g., methylene blue for electrochemical sensors).
- Polymer backbones (e.g., 2’-fluoro for nuclease resistance).
- Quencher pairs (e.g., for FRET-based detection).

- Modification of natural enzymes to introduce new properties and enhance existing ones is a central challenge in bioengineering. This study is focused on the development of Taq polymerase mutants that show enhanced reverse transcriptase (RTase) activity while retaining other desirable properties such as fidelity, 5′-3′ exonuclease activity, effective deoxyuracil incorporation, and tolerance to locked nucleic acid (LNA)-containing substrates.
- The transcriptomic data are being frequently used in the research of biomarker genes of different diseases and biological states. The most common tasks there are the data harmonization and treatment outcome prediction. Both of them can be addressed via the style transfer approach. Either technical factors or any biological details about the samples which we would like to control (gender, biological state, treatment, etc.) can be used as style components.
