• In April 2025, Gene Solutions and Element Biosciences entered into a strategic collaboration with the signing of an MoU during a visit to Gene Solutions' laboratory. The two companies will work together to combine Element Biosciences' groundbreaking sequencing platforms with Gene Solutions' innovative technologies in genetic solutions. A few years prior, Element Biosciences launched its first product, the AVITITM, a DNA benchtop sequencing platform powered by avidite base chemistry (ABC), which increased access to genomic sequencing in labs all over the world.

Numerous collection processes capture inputs at multiple scales, e.g., gene and amino acid sequences, protein structures, and postulate interaction pathway involvement. These new breakthroughs are all expected to contribute significantly to the expansion of the protein structure prediction tools market.
