The results of our flagship project, the Genetic Engineering Attribution Challenge (hosted by @drivendataorg), are announced today: altlabs.tech/geac/ Headline result: top teams could identify the designers of engineered DNA sequences with almost 95% top-10 accuracy. 1/

Great overview by @bryanrwalsh of @axios on The Apollo Program for Biodefense and @altLabs_tech recent Genetic Engineering Attribution Competition—a great example of a tech capability the Nation needs to defend against biological threats. 🚀#BioApollo🚀 axios.com/man-made-patho…

The results of the $60k #GeneticEngineering Attribution Challenge with @altLabs_tech are out! Meet the winners and see how they managed to build the best #algorithms to trace #syntheticbiology sequences to their lab-of-origin! 🧬🕵️ 🏆 buff.ly/3qNafse

And finally, thank you to all the individuals whose hard work and commitment made this happen – in particular, to our amazing team here at altLabs, and to @LaneWarmbrod at CHS. We couldn't have done any of this without you. 21/21 – End.

Thank you to the team at @Addgene for providing us with the amazing dataset for this competition, and for their awesome help and support with all sorts of things throughout the process. 20/
