Natural language AI tools arrive for protein and genome design

AI software for protein and genome design now accepts plain-language instructions, letting researchers describe the protein they want rather than writing technical specifications. The approach mirrors the 'vibe coding' trend in software development, and observers are debating both the convenience and the risks of making genetic design tools this accessible.

Why now: Applying natural-language AI to biology raises excitement about easier protein design and concern about biosecurity.
