    AI-Designed Phages: AI-Driven Bacterial Virus Genomes

    AI design of bacteriophages marks a new era in genome engineering Artificial intelligence has moved from drawing cat pictures to shaping the genetic building blocks of life. In a study conducted by researchers at Stanford University and the Arc Institute, AI was used to propose new genetic codes for bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria. Several of…
