The revolutionary design of entirely new viruses using artificial intelligence
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported36m ago
Researchers in the United States have successfully utilized artificial intelligence to design, from scratch, entirely new and functional viral genomes. These synthetic bacteriophages are capable of replication within a laboratory setting, marking a significant milestone in the field of synthetic biology.
Some of these AI-generated viruses have been tested against bacteria that have developed resistance to conventional treatments. This development represents a notable advancement in the application of artificial intelligence for biological research and potential medical interventions.
