AI has successfully generated an entire microbial genome. The Evo2 model, trained on vast amounts of DNA data, demonstrated the ability to create a plausible version of a microbe's genome when provided with a partial sequence. While the generated genome was not synthesized or tested for viability, the AI also encoded Morse code messages within DNA sequences, showcasing significant control and marking a potential breakthrough for synthetic genomics.
