Some researchers have developed a program that will construct
functional genomes. That is the hype claim of this Science news
article.
The program supposedly can predict what amino acid changes for a
protein will do to it's function, so it could produce a lifeform
with the phenotype that it wanted to create.
They claim that they did not use any human pathogens to train their
AI, so that terrorists should not be able to use it to construct bio
weapons.
The current program is for bacteria. If they produce a similar
program for vertebrates we could use it to predict the phenotypic
change of amino acid substitutions in livestock species and for
diagnosis of human genetic diseases. It could lead to diagnosis for
humans and for gene editing targets for breeding animals.
The researchers claim their goals are to study evolution of life forms. >>>>

Learning which gene are expressed where is one thing. Being able to
predict what changes would happen if you tweak them is a whole nother
They claim that they can make that prediction. There is already an AI
program that can determine the structure of a protein based on it's
amino acid sequence. They likely combined that with functional data.
