Researchers from the University of Hong Kong have discovered that the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a common human virus closely linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), can change the 3D structure of ...

Here, biology kind of takes over. If the phage genome that the AI model generated is legit, the proteins will start to self-assemble into a phage. You’ll know it’s worked when that phage goes on to ...

The work, described in a preprint paper, has the potential to create new treatments and accelerate research into artificially engineered cells. It is also an “impressive first step” toward AI-designed ...

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new way to fine-tune genetic material. Their study, published in Nature ...

Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells, or capsids, around their genomes — a process that, while messy and complex, ...

AI designed new bacteriophages that killed E. coli in lab tests, promising advances but raising safety concerns.

Scientists used artificial intelligence to write coherent viral genomes, using them to synthesize bacteriophages capable of killing resistant strains of bacteria.

Scientists have for the first time used artificial intelligence to design viruses capable of killing harmful bacteria. In a major leap for computational biology, researchers at Stanford University and ...
