Basecamp Research launched the Trillion Gene Atlas in partnership with Anthropic, Ultima Genomics and PacBio to expand evolutionary genetic diversity for AI‑driven therapeutic discovery. The program aims to sequence and model orders of magnitude more genomic data—targeting tens of thousands to 100,000 deeply sequenced samples from worldwide sites—to train foundation models (EDEN) that the company says can design therapeutics directly from disease prompts. Partners will deploy high‑throughput short‑ and long‑read sequencing platforms and NVIDIA computing infrastructure for assembly and modeling. Basecamp positions the atlas as a means to break the 'evolutionary data wall' limiting current biological AI models. The initiative raises scientific and ethical questions about data governance, biodiversity sampling, and how proprietary large‑scale datasets will interface with open science. Industry watchers expect additional public–private collaborations and scrutiny over access to resulting models and outputs.
