Scientists developed Evo 2, a large biological foundation model trained on about 9 trillion DNA base pairs that can analyse ...
Chalk up another victory for “Conan the Bacterium”—a rugged germ that fresh research suggests could conquer the solar system.
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 ...
