ARTGENE CONSORTIUM · VOLUME I · 2026 — § 01 — Overview
The first public registry for AI-designed biological sequences.
Generative models now produce proteins and genes faster than the scientific community can catalogue them. ArtGene is the infrastructure layer: automated biosafety screening, codon watermarking, post-quantum certificates, and an immutable public ledger; for every sequence.
§ 02 — Features
What’s built and what’s next.
10 capabilities are live today. 7 more are in active development. Click any live feature to jump to its interactive demo below.
§ 03 — Biosafety Pipeline
Four-gate automated biosafety review.
Select a sequence from the test-vector library and run the full analysis. All four gates execute automatically. A certificate is issued only when every gate passes.
§ 04 — Watermark & Provenance
TINSEL: certify once, trace forever.
Watermarking is not applied at deposit — it is applied at distribution. Every authorised copy carries a unique spread-spectrum fingerprint invisible at the protein level.
§ 05 — Fragment Assembly
Split-vector evasion? Caught.
A bad actor may attempt to split a hazardous sequence across multiple FASTA fragments to evade individual screening. ArtGene screens each fragment alone, then screens the reassembled contig.
§ 06 — Compliance & Synthesis Auth
Ready for regulatory submission.
Every certificate generates two machine-readable compliance documents automatically: a US DURC / EU Dual-Use attestation manifest and an ArtGene Synthesis Clearance Document.
§ 07 — Registry
Public. Searchable. Immutable.
Every certified sequence is permanently discoverable. The registry is open-access — no account required to search, cite, or verify.
§ 08 — Roadmap
Six phases to full production.
Phases 1 and 2 are complete. Phase 3 is active — partner onboarding and production hardening.
Every AI-designed sequence
must have a chain of custody.
Whether you're a lab depositing sequences, an independent bio explorer , or a developer with ideas to make this better - there's a path for you.
“The infrastructure for AI-designed biology should be built in public, by the people who understand what's at stake.”
ArtGene-archive needs a consortium level effort. If you work at the intersection of synthetic biology, biosecurity, or machine learning, your expertise shapes what this registry becomes. Researchers bring domain knowledge we can't encode alone. Developers push the protocol further than any single team can. Policy makers ensure the governance layer keeps pace with the science. Together we make sure, bio-research becomes equitable & accessible to all.
