Attribution: Latent Labs, “Latent Labs secures $50M in funding to realize the potential of AI-powered, programmable biology”, 2025-02-13.
Reuse: No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and short attributed quotations (at most 50 words each). Recheck terms before wider redistribution.
Check notes: Candidate pack passage, lab genealogy 2 (research/lab-genealogy-2). The paraphrase’s verbatim anchor “The company was founded by Dr Simon Kohl” matched the retrieved text on 2026-10-29 and again in a fresh retrieval. Read directly from the publisher. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, apostrophes, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. The paraphrase is Selekoa’s; only the anchor is the source’s wording. A cross-family machine check (2026-10-31, item L213) re-read the record’s sources. No human editorial review.
