AI and genetic engineering advancements could make designing new proteins possible
Briefly

Today we can for all practical purposes read, write, and edit any sequence of DNA, but we cannot compose it.
The goal is to modify bacteria with AI's designing talents and gene editing's engineering abilities to produce new proteins for applications like reducing greenhouse gases, digesting plastics, and creating species-specific pesticides.
Understanding proteins means understanding much of biology. Genomic sequencing technologies identify the order of nucleotide bases in DNA or RNA, crucial for protein functions.
The Human Genome Project sequenced the entire human genome from 1990 to 2003, enabling the complete sequence of 3 billion nucleotide base pairs coding for 20,000 to 25,000 genes.
