Stanford Scientists Use AI to Design Novel Bacteriophages to Combat E. coli

Researchers at Stanford University have utilized generative AI models, specifically Evo 1 and Evo 2, to create novel bacteriophage genomes capable of infecting and killing bacteria. This breakthrough, published in *Science*, demonstrates that genome-scale AI can generate viable viruses with functional properties, potentially opening new avenues for tackling antibiotic-resistant infections.
