RESUMO

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds immense promise for accelerating and improving all aspects of drug discovery, not least target discovery and validation. By integrating a diverse range of biological data modalities, AI enables the accurate prediction of drug target properties, ultimately illuminating biological mechanisms of disease and guiding drug discovery strategies. Despite the indisputable potential of AI in drug target discovery, there are many challenges and obstacles yet to be overcome, including dealing with data biases, model interpretability and generalisability, and the validation of predicted drug targets, to name a few. By exploring recent advancements in AI, this review showcases current applications of AI for drug target discovery and offers perspectives on the future of AI for the discovery and validation of drug targets, paving the way for the generation of novel and safer pharmaceuticals.

RESUMO

The challenge of systematically modifying and optimizing regulatory elements for precise gene expression control is central to modern genomics and synthetic biology. Advancements in generative AI have paved the way for designing synthetic sequences with the aim of safely and accurately modulating gene expression. We leverage diffusion models to design context-specific DNA regulatory sequences, which hold significant potential toward enabling novel therapeutic applications requiring precise modulation of gene expression. Our framework uses a cell type-specific diffusion model to generate synthetic 200 bp regulatory elements based on chromatin accessibility across different cell types. We evaluate the generated sequences based on key metrics to ensure they retain properties of endogenous sequences: transcription factor binding site composition, potential for cell type-specific chromatin accessibility, and capacity for sequences generated by DNA diffusion to activate gene expression in different cell contexts using state-of-the-art prediction models. Our results demonstrate the ability to robustly generate DNA sequences with cell type-specific regulatory potential. DNA-Diffusion paves the way for revolutionizing a regulatory modulation approach to mammalian synthetic biology and precision gene therapy.
