AI generated its first working genome: a tiny bacteria killer
SMRTR summary
Researchers at Stanford University successfully used two AI models, Evo 1 and Evo 2, to create the first complete genomes designed by artificial intelligence — 16 working viruses that kill E. coli bacteria in lab tests. The AI-generated bacteriophages proved more effective than natural versions at overcoming antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains, potentially revolutionizing phage therapy for treating tough infections.
