Genome language models: predicting DNA the way a chatbot predicts text Lesson
Genome language models are trained to predict the next base in a DNA sequence, the same objective that produces chatbots, and they turn out to learn enough biology to write working viral genomes from scratch.
gget Tool
An open-source command-line and Python tool for querying genomic databases with exact, deterministic lookups. New benchmark work showed wrapping an AI agent around gget's 'virus' module lifted viral-sequence retrieval accuracy from as low as 17% to above 90% -- a concrete template for pairing models with hard tools.
Evo 2 Tool
Arc Institute's open genome language model for DNA, used to design bacteriophage genomes that were synthesized and shown to work in living bacteria; weights and code are public.
