16 Bacteriophages Designed with AI
Key point
16 of the full bacteriophage genomes designed by Evo 1 and Evo 2 were confirmed to be viable.
Details
Full bacteriophage genomes were generated using the genome language models Evo 1 and Evo 2, and their functionality was validated experimentally.
The lytic bacteriophage ΦX174 was used as a design template, and the generated sequences were designed to have realistic genetic structures and target host ranges.
Experimental results confirmed 16 viable bacteriophages among the AI-generated genomes, which showed significant evolutionary differences from existing organisms. This case validates whether genome language models can design entire biological systems beyond individual genes or short sequences.
