Introducing SynthID Bio
The watermarking tool embeds verification signals directly into AI-designed sequences to help DNA synthesis providers screen orders and track biological provenance.
- Google DeepMind is open-sourcing the code, weights, and in vitro data alongside a methods paper.
- Integrated with Evo 2 in collaboration with Stanford and the Arc Institute to generate functional watermarked bacteriophages verified in lab cultures.
- Designed to flag synthetic submissions to public databases like GenBank, UniProt, and the Protein Data Bank.
Gene synthesis providers and researchers can automate verification of whether novel biological sequences originate from trusted AI models.
