TranshumanGene research program

Evidence-first computational bioscience

Robotics treats biological AI as a disciplined computational science: probabilistic genomics, generative hypothesis formation, molecular simulation, causal filtering and validation gates are combined so that models support research decisions without replacing experimental evidence.

The objective is not generic machine learning. The objective is an auditable biological reasoning stack: sequence interpretation, mutation-space exploration, mechanistic constraints, literature intelligence, candidate prioritization and reproducible computational trails.

TranshumanGene explores probabilistic genomics, AI-generated mutation modeling, virtual molecules, microRNA hypotheses and computational strategies for viruses, antimicrobial resistance, cancer and genome-scale interpretation.

The program connects biology and computation: generative models propose biological possibilities; probabilistic filters prioritize them; scientific validation remains the decisive gate.

*MetabolAite = Solution for diabetes cures

drugs and your genome: a reliable predictor of side effects

SARS CoV2 - Viruses - Bacteria: we predict them reliably and fight them efficiently (gene therapies) before they occur

Our Core business is:

Human genome and reliable prediction of drugs collateral effects

Elimination of the side effects of drugs for each person analyzed thanks to the computation of our system that allows you to choose the best drug (personalized medicine) exactly

Prediction and computation of lethal Virus/Bacterium new generated lethal sequence

Computation and reliable prediction of the lethal genomic sequences that are produced during replication of the virus/bacteria due to the mutations that occur and that our system calculates exactly

Creation of kits/swabs (patentable) to test for the presence of such lethal mutations

Creation of the best enzymes / MicroRNAs as vaccines (patentable) for the given sequences to immunize before getting infected and avoid suffering/death

What is a "Virus Variant"? V.V. is a predictive tool applied to the present virus strands and can tell you the most probable evolution of the virus itself. It's beneficial to produce efficient vaccines and test the existing ones

TranshumanGene is an AI division specialized in pharmaceutical "in silico" and "in vitro" R&D

Definition In Silico: produced using computer modeling or computer simulation

Other critical applications are: ICU - Gene, a predictive tool that shows the effects of a vaccine on a specific subject or a homogeneous population Vaccines editing: the production in vitro of compounds that can be added to vaccines to make them more effective

VIRUS VARIANT

The predictive tool for better vaccines

Manaus population seemed to have reached herd immunity. However, given the massive transmission of the so-called Brazilian VOC, it was overwhelmed by the 2 and 3 COVID-19 waves.

Studying and modeling the mutational landscape of SARS-CoV-2 is of paramount importance given the urgent need to predict whether anti-COVID-19 vaccines will be effective or not on the so-called variants of concern (VOCs).

Including compounds able to fight future virus variants could end the pandemic.

TranshumanGene

Drugs under validation

Abstract

We are working on drugs validations; data will be released after journals publications

TransHumanGene has developed a predictive AI-based multi-factorial platform (Virus Variant) that computes all the possible mutations of genomes in viruses and other living forms.

Our priority is the generation of virtual molecules and microRNA essential for fighting viruses, validating vaccines, and foresee the effects on patients.

How VirusVariant works?

With the help of supercomputers, we calculate the most likely mutations of the virus. But this could be not so efficient. For this reason, we apply a reverse engineering process

Phase 1 Predicting Virus Mutations

Since the Antigens generated by the predicting process require an extensive screening assessing their toxicity, to be faster, we run a similar approach to determine the target Antigenes

Calculating Antigene variations

Actual Virus Antigene

Phase 2 Predicting Antigene Mutations (Reverse engineering)

Mutated Antigenes

Genetic/Proteomic database

Antigene validation

After the validation process, the resulting Antigenes will be associated with the predicted Viruses to find optimal matches

Transhumangene artificial intelligence-based biophysics

(artificial intelligence + computational biology = computational intelligence):

AI drugs from design in silico to in vitro to trials

What we have achieved

WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO FAR: IN SILICO TO IN VITRO

We have already successfully crystallized an insulin sequence, with an excellent resolution, one of the highest obtained results. This enables us to shed more light on the mechanisms of insulin action at a cellular and molecular level, studying its genetic variants and the primary pathogenic mechanisms leading to diabetes.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex, multi-factorial and multi-system autoimmune disease, which imposes a dramatically relevant clinical and societal burden. Steroids (including methylprednisolone) represent the gold-standard option in terms of pharmaceutical treatment, even though their administration can result in side-effects, also serious and life-threatening ones (like malignancies, immune dysregulation/impairment and metabolic syndrome). Molecules obtained and extracted from helminths can be as effective as steroids, if not even superior in terms of pharmacological efficacy, sparing steroid doses and curbing the likelihood of developing severe adverse events. Among the different molecules, tuftsin-phosphorylcholine appears to be particularly intriguing in that it finely tunes and modulates several immunological cascades and pathways. Utilizing a murine model of SLE nephritis (lupus-prone NZBxW/F1 mice) we were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of this novel helminth-based compound. Proteinuria grade, levels of anti-dsDNA autoantibodies and splenic cytokines (like pro-inflammatory cytokines interferon IFN-γ, interleukin IL-1β and IL-6) significantly decreased after administration of tuftsin-phosphorylcholine, whereas the concentration of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 increased. Summarizing, tuftsin-phosphorylcholine seems to be a promising pharmacological treatment, even though the investigations conducted so far are preliminary and further research, including randomized clinical trials, is warranted

Optimization Tool for Omics

The Problem

A multitude of instruments is available in omics and genomics laboratories around the world and it's difficult to get uniformity in datasets. This is one of the biggest problems when it comes to applying AI to aggregate data or simply comparing aggregate data.

Data we are dealing with tend to be complex, big, and scattered. Consequently, solution patterns are often lost in multiple big foggy data clusters.

Most research procedures take a long time to complete, and the results are generally poorly organized. Hence, it takes extra time and resources to run formal algorithms.

The Solution - 1

There are three ways to solve this limiting factor:

- build a tool capable of harmonizing different data sets (third party management)

- create of a platform that allows scientists and researchers to enter and access data in a customized database that has already been structured

- create an AI-OS that mediates between these two approaches

AI4Omics BDM (Basic Data Management) features:

The software is essential in genetic laboratories for running harmonized data analysis.

AI4Omics, will provide the best quality in terms of:

- arranging genomic data,

- measuring or comparing DNA sequence format,

- gene expression,

- functional annotations,

- identifying genes (position, role, and expression domain)

The Solution - 2

The BDM embedded in AI4Omics is five to one hundred times more effective than typical parallel programs. We can eliminate errors and bad syncs with enhanced computational power for quicker autonomous algorithms.

In addition to this, we can organize and format heterogeneous data from a variety of sources and store them efficiently in several databases.

It represents a new step in parallel programming, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and machine learning providing new opportunities in science for;

- simulations,

- DNA sequencing,

- big data analysis,

Optimization Tool for Omics

Executive Summary

Ai4Omics' team has a long experience in parallel programming, deep learning, and genomics, creating new possibilities for achieving more significant results in science in general: simulations, DNA sequencing, big data

Ai4Omics has also developed a new Operating System for supercomputers and running on high-end laptops

This OS is called BDM (Basic Data Management)

Ai4Omics' BDM makes optimization of data complexity

Extrapolation Tool for Omics

An essential feature of AI4Omics

The platform can run both on high-standard commercial computers and supercomputers. The operator inserts data into our cyber-secure environment, and AI4Omics generates machine learning algorithms that classify, organize the data, forming new data aggregates and structures. The second step is the "hunt" in these classes of patterns useful to create new therapies, drugs, and treatments. Once we have reached a sufficiently big cluster of data, we can abstract a virtually infinite number of artificial genomes, delivering preventive cures to the real world even before the critical point of illness has arisen. (Predictive Medicine)

Our platform would accelerate the research time for vaccines in the order x 12+

Case Study: AFRICA

OMICA, a platform for genomic analysis

Applied to African descendent patients.

To face the21st century challenges

Health management Africa needs not only its

Own genetic library but also a calibrated set of genetic tools.

Lately, there have been lots of efforts in creating

libraries of genetic information about the population of Africa.
