- AI systems have successfully predicted protein structures and designed functional proteins.
- Biological changes start at the nucleic acid level, not directly at the protein level.
- Bacterial genomes can help AI predict novel proteins due to gene clustering.
- Stanford researchers developed a 'genomic language model' called Evo using bacterial genomes.
- Evo predicts the next base in a sequence and can generate novel sequences with randomness.
