上海交大 AI 原生科学实验室 AutoDNA 登上《自然》
SJTU's AutoDNA runs nucleic acid experiments end to end, published in Nature
Nature published AutoDNA, an AI-native autonomous lab built at SJTU's Zhangjiang Institute for Advanced Study by the IPADS systems institute and the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Agents under a central planner run more than 20 instrument types through nucleic acid synthesis, transcription, amplification and sequencing; people restock reagents and labware. Four applications: enzymatic DNA synthesis yields matching expert optimisation, concurrent protocols 3.2 times faster, a full DNA data-storage cycle with exact recovery (11,382 hardware operations, per SJTU), and identification of a clinically detected KRAS G13D mutation. The code is open source; no access for outside users has been announced.
