Allison Berke makes the case for real-time DNA sequencing and AI tools to detect pathogens before they spread widely. Reading DNA The first step in detecting a novel pathogen is recognizing it as an anomaly amidst a noisy background of other material. After copying the DNA to form a big pool, each piece is sequenced.

Tessa Alexanian and Max Langenkamp build computational DNA screening tools for a living. But today, rapid advances in DNA synthesis have made it possible for would-be bioterrorists to make pathogens, rather than buy them.

In 2006 , a landmark study by biochemist Gerry Wright and colleagues at McMaster University showed that nearly 500 randomly isolated soil-dwelling Streptomyces were, on average, resistant to 7 or 8 antibiotics. DNA is particularly durable, with a half-life measured in thousands of years — far outlasting bacterial cells.
