Vibe genes? Natural(ish) language comes to protein, genome design software

Researchers built AI tools that generate protein and DNA sequences from natural language prompts. Scientists do not need to specify exact three-dimensional coordinates to start the design process. The software still outputs many nonfunctional designs that demand manual filtering and wet lab testing.
