In a recent study, researchers used artificial intelligence to design complete sets of genetic instructions for bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria. Some of those computer-generated designs produced working viruses when they were built and tested in the laboratory.","category":"Science","image":null,"lang":"en","publishedAt":"2026-08-12T23:20:07+00:00","createdAt":"2026-08-12T23:30:12.569919+00:00"}}
