    Google DeepMind's SynthID Bio

    A family of watermarking methods for synthetic biology that embeds detectable, function-preserving signatures into AI-designed protein sequences (ProteinMPNN) and AlphaFold 3 structures. It was wet-lab-validated across VEGF-A, SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD, and PD-L1, extended to an Evo 2 bacteriophage genome, and published in Nature with open code and weights.
