ORNL Combines AI and Synthetic Biology to Accelerate Microbial Engineering

<p>Aug. 7, 2026 &#8212; Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory created a platform that pinpoints genetic triggers that turn microbes into efficient factories for new chemicals and materials. The method enables rapid, precise reprogramming of bacteria as biotechnology tools, supporting the domestic production of valuable products and the recovery of critical minerals [&#8230;]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/ornl-combines-ai-and-synthetic-biology-to-accelerate-microbial-engineering/">ORNL Combines AI and Synthetic Biology to Accelerate Microbial Engineering</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.hpcwire.com">HPCwire</a>.</p>
