Together, this work suggests that genomic sequence models can meaningfully generalize beyond characterized natural evolution. Looking forward, we hope that semantic design can serve as a starting point for function-guided design and optimization of genes across biology.

What if we could autocomplete DNA based on function?
Today in @Nature, we share semantic design—a strategy for function-guided design with genomic language models that leverages genomic context to create de novo genes and systems with desired functions. 🧵
