WHO reports 1 in 6 bacterial infections worldwide are antibiotic-resistant, with resistance rising sharply since 2018. Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli and K. pneumoniae pose the biggest threat. Action on #AMR surveillance and responsible antibiotic use is needed.

Many of the most complex and useful functions in biology emerge at the scale of whole genomes.
Today, we share our preprint “Generative design of novel bacteriophages with genome language models”, where we validate the first, functional AI-generated genomes 🧵

In a new preprint from @brianhie.bsky.social's lab, the team reports the first generative design of viable bacteriophage genomes.
Leveraging Evo 1 & Evo 2, they generated whole genome sequences, resulting in 16 viable phages with distinct genomic architectures.

@mblokesch.bsky.social Umm, you don't have to reply but I would really appreciate if you share your wisdom in this matter. You are a PI and you must have seen your PhD trainees journey through all ups and downs, I really need to understand how does one overcome the wet lab work associated anxiety?

Published in Communications Biology - probably the first time I’ve seen such a detailed example of prompt engineering in a paper that has absolutely nothing to do with AI. Worth reading the full prompt in the methods as it’s quite detailed and could be useful to others www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Setting aside the ethical and environmental concerns of AI, I'm really offended by a bunch of elite dudes telling us our minds aren't good enough when they've had to steal everything human minds have created to create their pretend mind and it doesn't even work right!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water.

The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most
A Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.
