Google DeepMind's AlphaGenome Atlas precomputes the molecular effects of all 9 billion single-letter human DNA changes and offers them free in a browser. What it does, why it matters, and where it falls short.
Scientists mutated every letter of the ΦX174 phage genome and measured the result. Top AI models predicted it only moderately well, a reality check for AI biology.
A new bioRxiv preprint, Prot-LAMBDA, teaches protein language models explicit 3D geometry and reportedly matches a model five times its size. Why efficiency, not scale, is the real story.
Australia just logged its first H5N1 mass-mortality event. Here's how a new wave of AI tools — protein language models, generative antibody pipelines, AI-designed antigens — is being mobilised against the virus, and where the science still falls short.
For about three years, the standard frontier-lab position on biology was defensive. Biology was the scary quadrant of the risk matrix.
