AI Designs Working Viruses from Scratch: A Breakthrough in Generative Biology
Key Takeaways
- AI designed hundreds of new phage genomes, 16 of which produced working viruses.
- This is a first in generative biology, showing AI can write new genetic code.
- The AI systems Evo 1 and Evo 2 learn patterns in DNA sequences like language models learn text.
- Phages are ideal for testing because they have small genomes and clear outcomes.
