MIT-led preprint uses machine learning to guide Rubisco evolution
chaitjo · x · 2026-07-29
A bioRxiv preprint reports machine learning-assisted directed evolution of plant Rubisco. The study, from researchers at MIT, Stanford, ANU, and collaborators, focuses on applying ML to guide protein engineering for a key photosynthesis enzyme.
- It is a research paper, not a product announcement.
- The work sits in AI for science / bioengineering: using machine learning to search the sequence–function space more efficiently.
- The preprint is authored by Julie L. McDonald, Jiacheng Lin, Yunlong Zhao, Brian L. Hie, and others, and is posted under DOI 10.64898/2026.07.25.740226.
