Access genes you won't find anywhere else, powered by AI that gets smarter with every test. Our high-throughput lab turns data into better predictions for your specific plant trait goals.

Our team has amassed a 2.7B+ metagenomic database that has <5% overlap with public databases. Our computational biology can mine this database for sequences that provide novel mechanisms of action and freedom to operate.

Machine learning algorithms learn from data and are only as effective as the data resources that are used to train them. As software tools for performing AI-guided protein & enzyme design become commonplace, Ginkgo’s partners benefit from the unique advantages of our proprietary in-house datasets and the data-generating capabilities of our highly automated labs. 

Our platform for AI-guided design integrates with a full range of computational tools proven out over dozens of projects. Our human experts are equipped to choose the right approach for your plant traits innovation needs.

Transformative traits often stack multiple genes that need to be expressed in specific plant tissues at specific times. Ginkgo has deep experience with complex construct design and synthesis to deliver high quality constructs with short turnaround times. In addition to tackling complex constructs, Ginkgo excels at codon optimization to make gene expression more reliable. Our codon optimization algorithm outperforms external vendors and literature state-of-the-art. Ginkgo's cell programming platform can also advance gene expression regulation in complex eukaryotic systems. Through promoter design and optimization, Ginkgo has demonstrated significant improvements in tightly regulated, inducible gene expression in mammalian systems.

Evaluating proteins and enzymes for their insect control or herbicide tolerance efficacy typically requires sample material for large scale trials. Ginkgo offers partners access to microbial hosts optimized for protein and enzyme production. Additionally our pilot plant offers capacity for material generation to serve your efficacy trial needs.
