The world‘s first AI genome is born, with 3.5 billion years of life code reprogrammed. Biology welcomes its „ChatGPT moment“.

(September 18, 2025)

[Introduction] AI writing the „code of life“ has become a reality! Today, Stanford University has joined forces with the Arc Institute to make a significant move. Using the bacteriophage ΦX174 as a template, AI has generated a genome for the first time. Among them, 16 successfully targeted Escherichia coli and can even combat drug-resistant bacteria. This can be regarded as the „ChatGPT moment“ in the field of life sciences.
