As a bioinformatician, it doesn’t get more exciting than this!
Scaling to 1T+ genes isn’t just collecting more data. It demands new algorithms, infrastructure, and abstractions for complex biology.
Excited to be working with an incredible team to push the boundaries of sequence informatics.
Excited to work with these and many awesome partners connected to this project!
We’re thrilled to welcome NVIDIA as our latest investor — and grateful for their longstanding collaboration in building EDEN.
NVentures, NVIDIA’s venture capital arm, has invested pre-Series C in Basecamp Research, accelerating our research & development efforts.

What would it take for one AI system to design gene therapies, cell therapies, and antibiotics?
@faylinphd.bsky.social explores how EDEN was built to test that idea — using trillions of tokens of evolutionary DNA to learn biology’s underlying rules.

Introducing EDEN — a 28B-parameter biological foundation model trained on 9.7T nucleotide tokens, including >10B novel genes from >1M species. This evolutionary scale is what makes generalisable biological design possible.

EDEN: a family of genomic language models trained on up to 9.7 trillion nucleotides from @basecamp-research.bsky.social's BaseData can design large serine recombinases, bridge recombinases, and antimicrobial peptides.
