ðš AI IS NOW WRITING DNA THAT WORKS
Scientists at Stanford and the Arc Institute used Evo 2, an AI model trained on billions of genetic sequences, to design bacteriophage genomes.
Nearly 300 AI-designed viruses were tested, and 16 successfully reproduced and attacked their target bacteria.
The breakthrough could eventually help scientists develop new ways to fight antibiotic-resistant infections.
