Meet Evo, the DNA-trained AI That Creates Genomes From Scratch

10,000-year-old DNA, oldest ever in South Africa, shows country’s genetic consistency | Researchers from South Africa just successfully sequenced the genomes of 13 individuals that lived 1,300-10,000 years ago.

Scientists preserve DNA in an amber-like polymer. With their “T-REX” method, DNA embedded in the polymer could be used for long-term storage of genomes or digital data such as photos and music.
