Cypher AI for Microbial Strain Engineering

Run strain-improvement campaigns with construct tracking, fermentation data, and reusable growth and titer analysis.

Strain engineering for fermentation and bioproduction is a high-throughput numbers game — hundreds of strains, each with edits, growth profiles, and titer measurements that only matter in relation to each other. When the design lives in one tool and the screening data in another, ranking strains and learning across rounds is slow and error-prone. Cypher connects construct design, strain tracking, and screening analysis so each round of improvement builds cleanly on the last.

How Cypher AI helps microbial strain engineering teams

One connected platform for the work you do today and the data you generate tomorrow.

Construct and strain tracking with lineage

Register edits, constructs, and resulting strains with annotated sequences and full parent-child lineage across rounds of engineering.

Growth, titer, and yield analysis on demand

"Plot OD600 and product titer over time, normalize, and rank strains by specific productivity" becomes a reusable widget the whole team runs on every screening plate.

Fermentation and screening data ingestion

Ingest plate-reader and bioreactor output through pipelines, aligning time-series across runs and linking it to the strains that produced it.

AI-assisted design tracking

Track which edits and ML-designed variants advanced, with predicted vs. measured performance, so the design strategy improves with every round.

Path to scale-up

Structured strain and run metadata makes the handoff to process development a query, not a re-creation — the same platform carries you from screen to scale.

A strain-improvement round in Cypher

1

Design edits

Generate and register a library of edited strains, each with lineage to its parent and the modifications made.

2

Screen

Run growth and production screens; upload plate and bioreactor data through pipelines linked to each strain.

3

Rank and learn

A reusable widget computes growth and titer metrics and ranks strains; results feed the next design round.

4

Advance to scale

Promote top strains with full metadata intact, ready for process development on the same platform.

Make every round of strain improvement build cleanly on the last.
