Generative AI Designs Novel Bacteriophages Using Genome Language Models
Key Takeaways
- Study published in Science (August 2026) demonstrates generative design of bacteriophages using genome language models.
- The model learns from existing phage genomes to generate novel, functional phage sequences.
- Generated phages successfully infect and lyse target bacteria, including E. coli and P. aeruginosa.
- Approach could enable rapid, custom phage therapy for antibiotic-resistant infections.
