And Ivo was able to generate hundreds of synthetic proteins in a genome that resembled those in nature.

But ultimately, he was missing a few parts.

It wasn't yet complete.

More like a rough sketch of the genome.

However, this is just the first version.

That rough sketch of the genome will become more detailed over time.

In fact, within years, we anticipate AI will be able to generate whole, functional genomes.

In other words, AI will be able to generate new life.

As this technology improves, biology will shift from discovery to design.

What might this world look like?

Let's look ahead.

In this future, we can make truly personalized medicine.

Imagine prompting an AI like Evo with your genome, finding sources of diseases, predicting your reaction to drugs and guiding treatment options based on your own DNA.

But why even take medicine when you might have a permanent cure?

we might choose to alter our DNA outright.

And we are beginning to see this today.

Recently, the FDA approved the first gene therapy for sickle cell disease, a painful, lifelong condition of the blood.

And it works by just changing a single gene in a person's DNA to permanently cure the patient.

And now, there are over 500 DNA-altering treatments awaiting approval.

But let's say you're not comfortable with changing your DNA.
