YC Releases Full AI For Biology Paper Club Session (~80 min)
ycombinator · x · 2026-11-08
Y Combinator released the full video of this week's Paper Club session on AI For Biology (80 minutes). The theme: sequencing costs have collapsed, biology generates more data than researchers can digest, and models are catching up — the opportunity is moving from reading biological data to modeling and designing living systems.
Topics span cancer genomics, virtual cells and autonomous research, emergent in-context learning in DNA language models, and few-shot prompting for biological design.
