About MEGA

MEGA (Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis) is a powerful and user-friendly software suite designed for analyzing DNA and protein sequence data from species and populations. It facilitates both automatic and manual sequence alignment, phylogenetic tree inference, and evolutionary hypothesis testing. MEGA supports a variety of statistical methods including maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference, and ordinary least squares, making it an essential tool for comparative sequence analysis and understanding molecular evolution. MEGA offers advanced features such as real-time caption generation to help explain the results and methods used in analysis and the maximum composite likelihood method for estimating evolutionary distances. The software is equipped with robust visual tools like the alignment/trace editor and tree explorer and supports multi-threading for efficient processing. MEGA can be run on multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Evo Designer
Evo Designer
Evo Designer is an advanced tool developed by the Arc Institute, leveraging the capabilities of the Evo 2 genomic foundation model to facilitate DNA sequence generation and analysis. This platform enables users to input nucleotide sequences or specify organisms, prompting the model to generate corresponding DNA sequences. It provides comprehensive annotations of coding regions and, for prokaryotic sequences, offers 3D protein visualizations utilizing ESMFold. Additionally, Evo Designer evaluates sequences by scoring their perplexity and per-nucleotide entropy, assisting researchers in assessing sequence complexity and variability. The underlying Evo 2 model is trained on over 9 trillion nucleotides from a diverse array of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, employing a deep learning architecture that models biological sequences at single-nucleotide resolution with a context window extending up to 1 million tokens.

Biohub
Biohub
Biohub is an open platform for building on the world model of protein biology. It provides access to the ESM family of models, including ESMC, ESMFold2, and ESM3, along with interactive tools and developer resources for protein science research. ESMC is a state-of-the-art protein language model trained on billions of evolutionary sequences, building representations that capture fundamental mechanisms of protein structure and function. It powers functional analysis, structure prediction, protein design, and the exploration of evolutionary relationships between proteins. ESMFold2 predicts high-resolution, all-atom 3D structures of biomolecular complexes directly from sequence, with optional multiple sequence alignment input for enhanced accuracy on challenging targets. ESM3 jointly models sequence, structure, and function, enabling controllable generation of novel proteins by conditioning on any combination of these modalities.
