Researchers used large language models (LLMs) to expand the sequence diversity of CRISPR-Cas proteins and generate novel, functional genome editors with improved properties compared to natural systems. They publicly released OpenCRISPR-1, the first AI-designed editor for precise genome editing. This novel AI-based approach for designing CRISPR gene editors could potentially expand the capabilities and applications of genome-editing technologies.
