I agree, the article could be written more clearly. Every time I read “DNA letters” I winced.
This part is what stuck with me:
The team also asked Evo to generate a DNA sequence similar in length to some bacterial genomes and compared the results to natural genomes. The designer genome contained some essential genes for cell survival, but with myriad unnatural characteristics preventing it from being functional. This suggests the AI can only make a “blurry image” of a genome, one that contains key elements, but lacks finer-grained details, wrote the team. Like other LLMs, Evo sometimes “hallucinates,” spewing CRISPR systems with no chance of working.
Yes but not in relation to my question. It did help me understand the article and the subject more than i was able to before, though i will not claim comprehension of it all.
Though i did re read the article and i did find what i twigged.
A difference between codons becoming proteins themselves, and codons causing something else to make proteins. I was just dumb and didn’t read good. But you helped me figure it out by engaging me and trying to figure out how to use what you provided in all of this so…
After all i guess you did help me get to where i was trying to get to. But we learn if we try and I’ve learned something so thanks again kind stranger!
Does this help?

Yay! Cheers! Always happy to help with a Mol Bio question.
Dangerous thing to say! Ill try not to abuse your generousity!
