Daily briefing: World's first AI-designed viruses attack antibiotic-resistant bacteria

AI-guided design produced novel bacteriophages that can infect and kill multiple antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli strains that the original ΦX174 could not.

AI can now design more deadly virus genomes

A group of Stanford bioengineers claim that they've created synthetic bacteriophages using AI-generated designs that not only work in the real world, but are far more infectious than their naturally-occurring counterparts. The team, led by Stanford chemical engineering professor Brian Hie, posted a paper to the preprint service bioRxiv Wednesday that details their use of the Evo 1 and Evo 2 models from the Arc Institute (Hie contributed to the design
