Vibe genes? Natural(ish) language comes to protein, genome design software

Researchers in China have developed a tool that allows users to design proteins using natural language prompts, which can then be used to produce proteins with a specified function. A separate tool from Hugging Face can also design DNA sequences using natural language inputs. This technology, similar to 'vibe coding,' makes protein design more accessible to those without extensive technical knowledge. The tools have a relatively low success rate, but can still produce working proteins. This development could potentially make protein design more accessible to researchers and biologists, but the quality of the designed proteins may vary.
