Designing biological sequences with multiple functional and biophysical criteria is a challenging task in biomolecule engineering.
A new approach called Multi-Objective-Guided Discrete Flow Matching (MOG-DFM) has been introduced to address this challenge.
MOG-DFM steers discrete-time flow matching generators towards Pareto-efficient trade-offs across multiple objectives by computing hybrid rank-directional scores.
This framework has been demonstrated to effectively generate peptide binders optimized across five properties and design DNA sequences with specific enhancer classes and shapes.
