This research demonstrates how microbial diversity enhances biological AI models, suggesting new avenues for biological function design.
The diversity of microbes reflects how cells adapt, interact and evolve across diverse environmental contexts and represents an unparalleled resource for training biological AI models. This microbial diversity can support models that go beyond sequence to capture and design biological function across systems.
