Proto is a new domain-specific programming language designed for generative biology, enabling scientists to define biological systems by specifying goals and rules rather than selecting static parts. This approach allows AI models to autonomously design complex biological systems, such as custom DNA or protein sequences, by coordinating various specialized AI models for tasks like protein folding prediction and sequence generation. The system aims to significantly accelerate drug discovery and personalized medicine by reducing the number of physical lab experiments required. AI
