one hour of autonomous lab to relax/study to: hubs.la/Q04kcVQ10

As seen in Microsoft's Discovery blog, we’re launching our first RNA-related service on Ginkgo’s Cloud Lab! Starting this week, you can order IVT mRNA or circRNA synthesis followed by with SPRI Purification and qPCR Quantification. Submit a sequence and get back full QC data -- yield, purity, and quantification. Submit your designs and get started today: hubs.la/Q04l9Mt40

Ginkgo was thrilled to host Captain James Coburn of ARPA-H for a tour of our autonomous lab. The tour marked the start of Year 2 of our WHEAT program, which is working to secure our medical supply chain by replacing the overseas factory production of pharmaceutical ingredients with literal homegrown production – using the hardworking biology inside agricultural wheat. This is real science running on top of a real autonomous lab. Ginkgo CEO, Jason Kelly, showed Captain James Coburn the robots behind this science and explained the hardware that makes this work possible, including specialized vacuums and resealable covers that keep our processes sterile.  Tours are open: hubs.la/Q04kd8bt0

Today, @reshmapshetty will be speaking at the @CarnegieMellon Partnerships for Autonomous Science Workshop.  She’ll share what building the world’s largest autonomous lab looks like in practice and Ginkgo’s collaborations with OpenAI, Microsoft, the Genesis Mission, and more to accelerate the speed and scale at which biological research is possible. 👇 hubs.la/Q04kNyT10

Ginkgo Bioworks and Microsoft are connecting agentic AI with autonomous experimentation — helping researchers move more seamlessly from hypothesis to execution: hubs.la/Q04kW4CH0

Boston is home to Ginkgo and the American biotech industry. Today, our CEO @jrkelly wrote in @BostonGlobe @GlobeOpinion about why that field is under threat — and what policymakers and industry leaders can do to protect it. His proposal: Add biotech to the COINS Act and pair it with an affirmative agenda to keep Massachusetts and the U.S. the best place in the world to discover, test, manufacture, and scale new medicines and biotechnologies.  Read his op-ed here: hubs.la/Q04kzpNd0

Check out our autonomous lab, Nebula, in photos by @NPR (hubs.la/Q04kk-0y0)! Our co-founders @reshmapshetty and @jrkelly recently gave the NPR team a tour of Ginkgo’s 100 RACs and shared how we’re moving biology off the lab bench.  “Using robotics and AI, Kelly and his co-founders say that they are building the science labs of the future — where human scientists oversee robotic versions of themselves.” Read the full story 👇  hubs.la/Q04kk_BG0

Excited to be named a launch partner for @Microsoft Discovery, now generally available as announced at @MicrosoftBuild. Researchers will soon be able to plan experiments in Discovery and run them directly on Ginkgo Cloud Lab. Keynote (jump to the Discovery segment): youtube.com/live/FFMm454fxNA… Microsoft's announcement: azure.microsoft.com/en-us/bl…

Testing bottlenecks on our transport algorithm with some engineering runs on Nebula, our autonomous lab today. If you want to see 160 lab devices connected by 105 robots (and the world's coolest train tracks 😆) come visit during our happy hour tomorrow for @Ginkgo Datapoints! Weds June 3rd, 6pm in Seaport in collaboration with our partner Helical ! Register here: luma.com/gzh8drv4

When @ARPA_H Program Manager Captain James Coburn visited Ginkgo for the start of Year 2 of the WHEAT program, Ginkgo CEO @jrkelly walked him through Catalyst — the software that runs our autonomous lab, Nebula. Every box in Catalyst is a step in a protocol mapped to a real piece of hardware on the lab floor. Drop in a node, connect it to the next, and the robots know that this plate needs to go to that device, get sealed, get spun, come out the other side. It's how the science for the WHEAT program — turning wheat cell machinery into a domestic source for pharmaceutical ingredients — actually gets done.

Cell-free gives you the fast screen. E. coli gives you the yield. This week, we're launching E. coli Minibinder Expression with His-tag Purification and Yield via A280 on Ginkgo's Cloud Lab — living-cell expression for when you're past the screen and ready for material. Submit your amino acid sequences or linear DNA templates. We express His-tagged minibinders in E. coli, purify on His-tag magnetic beads, and report A280 yield per well — up to 96 constructs in parallel. Two routes, one platform: screen your designs fast in cell-free, then express the winners at higher yield in E. coli. Transparent pricing at $199/sample, with full visibility into every step and instrument — same as every Cloud Lab protocol. Submit your minibinder designs here: cloud.ginkgo.bio/protocols/e…

Rashard is back. How many robots did you teach last week?

Still crazy to think that we have the largest autonomous lab in the world! Our systems team was able to teach around 50 RACs in just a week! #autonomouslabs #biology #engineering #RACs #explorer

Katia Riddle at @NPR went inside our Boston facility to witness Nebula, the world’s largest autonomous lab, in action. She spoke with our co-founders @jrkelly and @reshmapshetty about how autonomous labs are already shaping the future of scientific discovery. 🎧 Listen to the episode on All Things Considered: hubs.la/Q04j1MSQ0

The Reconfigurable Automation Cart (RAC) is the fundamental unit of the autonomous lab. Dan Curhan, a Senior Mechatronics Engineer at Ginkgo, walks you through how these robots leverage 5-micron repeatability, factory-calibrated trajectories, and built-in redundancy to ensure maximum uptime for a lab's worth of scientists. See Nebula, our autonomous lab in Boston, by booking a tour: hubs.la/Q04j1pPn0

When the U.S. government needed a way to secure our medical supply chains, Ginkgo proposed the WHEAT project, which was selected by ARPA-H. We are taking the biological machinery inside an agricultural wheat cell and using Nebula—our autonomous lab—to create a resilient, domestic source for pharmaceuticals. To mark the start of Year 2, ARPA-H Portfolio Lead, Captain James Coburn, visited Ginkgo and saw Nebula in action. In this video, you see the successful production of "green fluorescent protein" in a wheat germ system. It’s a critical milestone demonstrating an observable increase in protein production compared to other commercially available wheat cell free systems and is a step on the way to building complex biological products that were previously only possible in massive overseas factories. Want to see Nebula, the tool that made this possible? Schedule a tour of the autonomous lab today: hubs.la/Q04hTtx30

This week, we’re launching E. coli Protein Expression, Purification & Quantification on Ginkgo’s Cloud Lab! We express and purify His-tagged proteins in E. coli. You get back quantification data using A280-based yield measurements and a purity readout using LabChip (capillary electrophoresis). Submit your protein designs here: cloud.ginkgo.bio/protocols/e…

Ever wish there was an @amazon Prime for designing antibodies and ordering data? Ginkgo partnered with @awscloud on the Amazon Bio Discovery Platform to do just that. Try it here: hubs.la/Q04ht_zs0
