20n 做什么

The next decade is going to see a biotech revolution fueled by three technologies: ability to read DNA (sequencing), ability to write DNA (synthesis), and computational systems that predict what DNA to read and write. With sequencing and synthesis being mainstream now [1], 20n provides the computational systems that predict DNA design for novel industrial biotech and health applications. At 20n, we are taking a fresh look at turning biological data into information. We approach it as a big data learning problem, and bring to bear techniques from machine learning, distributed systems, AI planning, program synthesis, data mining, and natural language processing. With the support of DARPA [2], we are building a team of computer scientists, and bioengineers to look at biology in fundamentally new ways. Our current customers include industrial biotech firms that are leading the charge in transitioning us from traditional unsustainable means of manufacturing to sustainable biological processes leading to advanced fuels, materials, therapeutics, and flavors and fragrances. 20n’s technology helps them enter markets previously thought inaccessible for biology. [1] Sequencing DNA costs $4k/genome ( and is expected to go down to $1k/genome. Synthesizing DNA is at 20cents/bp, and is expected to go down to 0.1cents/bp. [2] DARPA in the past supported work that led to the internet, stealth planes, GPS, and even Douglas Engelbart’s mother-of-all-demos.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Using AI to predict biochemistry for manufacturing

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building computational systems that use AI and machine learning to predict DNA designs for industrial biotech and therapeutics. Our product helps industrial biotech firms design biological systems that can produce fuels, materials, flavors, and medicines that were previously inaccessible by traditional methods.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and would base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the technical talent and biotech ecosystem we need to grow. It keeps us close to early industrial biotech customers and partners.
