Graphic showing a timeline of progress in protein design from 2010 to 2024. In 2010, labeled “Impossible,” a small chemical structure is shown. In 2012, labeled “Limited,” a simple ribbon-like protein fragment appears. In 2017, labeled “Possible,” a more complex folded protein structure is shown with scissors icons indicating editable segments. In 2024, labeled “Practical,” a large, detailed multi-part protein complex is displayed. The layout visually conveys increasing capability and complexity over time. Blurred blue and red bokeh lights with a white logo spelling Genesis Mission over top. Two scientists point at a figure on the computer.
