The team, led by Brian Hie at Stanford University, used Evo 1 and Evo 2 models to generate these phage genomes targeting Escherichia coli C. They generated thousands of sequences, synthesizing 285 designs, with 16 proving viable in lab tests. These AI-designed phages even outperformed the natural phage phiX174 and attacked resistant strains. This development raises biosecurity concerns, prompting calls for stricter screening of synthetic genetic orders. 🔬
