The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

An AI wrote an entire microbial genome. The Evo2 model was trained on 9 trillion DNA letters much as other AIs train on internet text, and when given a chunk of a microbe’s genome, was able to create ...

The Evo2 genomic language model can generate short genome sequences, but scientists say further advances are needed to write ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2, first released in February 2025 as a preprint, is now published in the journal Nature.

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

The Debut range just got a new top dog.

Biosecurity experts have repeatedly raised concerns about the convergence of AI with the life sciences. Agentic AI systems ...

Scientists have made the first step towards creating new species in the lab. Researchers have used artificial intelligence to create a new virus to attack a colony of the deadly E.coli bacteria. The ...

More than 100 researchers call for safeguards on high-risk biological datasets to prevent AI misuse, which could create ...
