AI designed working bacteriophage genomes, successfully killing E. coli, marking a major advance in synthetic biology.
Scientists at Stanford University and the Arc Institute used AI to design functional viral genomes for bacteriophages, marking the first time AI generated complete, working viral genomes.
Trained on millions of phage genomes, the AI system Evo created thousands of designs, 302 of which were synthesized and tested in E. coli.
Sixteen successfully replicated and killed the bacteria, proving the approach viable.
This breakthrough could accelerate phage therapy and gene delivery research, but raises biosafety concerns, especially if applied to human pathogens.
