Reading Raw Genetic Signal, Reference-Free

Treatment response is written in signal that reference-based tools can’t read. Alphabiome reads it directly across host, bacterial, and viral DNA, finding the patterns that separate responders from non-responders and turning them into predictive intelligence for drug development.

Decoding the Signal Others cannot Compute

How Alphabiome makes the 99% of biology no reference map can read computable for AI. From CEO Dr. Yaniv Altshuler (MIT), Nobel Laureate Prof. Roger Kornberg (Stanford), and Prof. Sandy Pentland (MIT).

Raw Data to Predictive Signatures, Fast

  • Tokenize raw genetic sequencing data directly, reference-free, across host, bacterial, viral, fungal and other DNA
  • Learn latent biological structure across trillions of DNA fragments, beyond species, genes, pathways and reference genomes.
  • Convert raw DNA data into AI-usable tokens that can power prediction, stratification, mechanism discovery and therapeutic decision-making.

How It Works

Reference-based tools can only find what has already been mapped. The Genetic Radar learns structure from raw sequence itself, without labels, dictionaries or prior assumptions, so unmapped biology becomes readable, and predictive.

Most biology has no map

Across the microbial and viral world, almost nothing has a reference genome. That is the overwhelming majority of the signal in any sample, and it stays unreadable

icon

DNA behaves like a language

The "words" of DNA, k-mers, carry statistical structure the way words carry meaning. The engine reads that structure straight from sequence, with no dictionary.

icon

Discovery without labels

No reference, no labels, no assumptions about what matters. The engine learns non-random structure at scale, and the patterns others discard become predictive signatures.

The Missing Layer in the Biological-AI Stack

  • Upstream of the model. A reference-free representation layer that sits beneath foundation models and feeds them what reference-bound data can’t.
  • A proprietary substrate. Trillions of fragments scanned, 100,000+ novel signatures discovered. Signal others structurally can’t produce, compounding with every cohort.
  • Reference-free by design. One engine reads any raw sequence, scaling across compounds, indications and species without a map.

The Unmapped Majority

Reference-mapped, annotated biology is a fraction of what a sample contains. Our engine works directly on raw sequence, learning structure across trillions of DNA fragments, beyond species, genes, pathways and reference genomes. That opens a discovery space 1,000x larger than traditional workflows interrogate.

Computing Over the Signal Others Cannot Read

Reference genomes cover a sliver of the DNA that shapes how a patient responds. Alphabiome reads the rest (host, bacterial, viral and fungal) and turns the unmapped majority into a prediction of who a drug will work for.
