Using ChatGPT and Codex to search genomes for new antibiotics

How a researcher uses Codex and ChatGPT to search for new antimicrobial molecules

César de la Fuente's lab uses AI to scan genomes of living and extinct organisms for antimicrobial molecules. Their deep-learning models cut candidate search from years to hours; ChatGPT and Codex help write code, process data, and bridge disciplines. About 5 million deaths in 2021 were linked to bacterial antimicrobial resistance, projected to double by 2050. The post doesn't disclose specific candidates found or clinical progress.
