Summary

Story summary

In March 2026, researchers introduced Evo 2, an open-source AI system trained on genomes from bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes.
Evo 2 builds on the earlier Evo system, which focused on bacterial genomes.
It has analyzed trillions of DNA base pairs, enabling Evo 2 to identify regulatory DNA and splice sites.
Eukaryotic genomes are more complex, with introns and dispersed regulatory sequences, and Evo 2 aims to help interpret.
