Bacteriophages – or phages for short – are viruses that can infect and kill off bacteria. They are naturally present in their billions in our environment, as well as with bacteria in our intestines ...

A petri dish full of dead bacteria isn’t usually cause for celebration. But for Stanford’s Brian Hie it was a game-changer in his efforts to create synthetic life. The perpetrator was a type of virus ...

Researchers have successfully used artificial intelligence to design viral genomes, which were then constructed and tested in a lab setting. The AI-generated viruses effectively infected bacteria, ...

A team of researchers from Stanford University and the Arc Institute in Palo Alto, California say they’ve created viruses with AI-designed DNA that can target and kill specific bacteria. And these ...

Scientists used AI to design viruses for the first time, creating bacteriophages capable of hunting down and killing harmful bacteria. In the study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, the ...

A California outfit has used artificial intelligence to design viral genomes before they were then built and tested in a laboratory. Following this, bacteria was then successfully infected with a ...

DNA sequences contain the underlying instructions of life for all living organisms, but even the simplest microbial genomes are largely complex, with millions of DNA base pairs encoding the interplay ...

The U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued its first official guidance on how to develop bacteriophages as licensed medicinal products. This covers personalized ...

A war has been raging for billions of years, killing trillions every single day, while we don't even notice. This war involves the single deadliest being on our planet: The Bacteriophage. We take a ...
