AI Created 16 New Viruses: American Scientists Successfully Synthesize Bacteriophages from Scratch

Science 08/09/2026, 22:23
🧬 American scientists have created 16 new viruses with the help of AI! 🦠 Researchers used genomic language models (Evo 1 and Evo 2) to design bacteriophages. Out of 285 synthesized constructs, 16 proved viable and successfully destroyed E. coli bacteria. One of the viruses (Evo-Φ2147) is so unique that it can be considered a new species (93% different from natural analogues). The technology paves the way for fighting resistant bacteria but requires strict control. 🧪🔬 #Science #AI #Biotechnology #Viruses #Research
