Apologies was editing the comment, but I looked into it more and it wasn't a preprint. They published it. Multiple times.

"Genome modelling and design across all domains of life with Evo 2," March 2026, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10176-5

However, this was a preprint, "Generative design of novel bacteriophages with genome language models," September 2025, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.12.675911v1

Even older conference paper, I think, February 19th, 2025, https://arcinstitute.org/manuscripts/Evo2

All those publications describe the methodology and modelling process to generate genomes, without testing them experimentally. This article shows that their designed genomes actually work in the wetlab. Your last two links are both preprints.

		That's a fair point! I think I've found a few more things, but reading through / verifying first. Will update accordingly and leave notes. Thanks for helping! edit - I updated to delete my over claim. Thank you!
