"Those days are still a way off, but a growing number of research groups are using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the evolution of SARS-CoV-2, influenza and other viruses."
"By predicting how a virus will evolve, researchers could, in theory, design vaccines and antiviral treatments ahead of time."
"It's 'a really exciting and very useful area for research', says Brian Hie, a computational biologist at Stanford University in California, who was among the first researchers to apply large language models to the study of viral mutations."
"The arrival of AI-based protein-structure prediction tools - such as AlphaFold, created by London-based AI company DeepMind - has brought new energy to the field."
