A team of international researchers, including professors from the Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) worked with sources of past zoonotic viruses in order to develop models to predict where ...

A team of researchers from Stanford University and the Arc Institute in Palo Alto, California say they’ve created viruses with AI-designed DNA that can target and kill specific bacteria. And these ...

Can AI create a life form? These “generative” genomes are a start Artificial intelligence can draw cat pictures and write emails. Now the same technology can compose a working genome. A research team ...

Scientists have decoded the 3D structure of an ancient viral protein hidden in our DNA. The HERV-K Env protein, found on cancer and autoimmune cells, has a unique shape that could unlock new ...

Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to build brand-new viruses, opening the door to AI-designed forms of life. The viruses are different enough from existing strains to potentially ...

AI can now invent working biological viruses. In real world experiments, a team of Stanford researchers demonstrated that a virus with AI-written DNA could target and kill specific bacteria, they ...

Even viruses have to contend with parasites in the form of sponging relatives – and these cheats may be much more common and important than biologists thought. In flu infections, such viruses may ...
