Has anyone modeled many DNA strands in this way?

If it was done, what kinds of problems could we solve using AI - assuming we could model any known DNA, and predict out generations?

-----

I guess there are at least a couple options:

1) Model an entire DNA strand as 1 model, with each gene (section of DNA) being a vector. So you'd have, say, a C. elegans model. You could play with that species in an AI sandbox.

2) Model all of DNA (the way we model all of language) to end up with a "DNA AI" that can produce any kind of strand (perhaps inventing genes that don't exist, but could). So here you have a biology sandbox, where you can invent perhaps new creatures, or predict out future states of humans, to test drugs and other things (I guess?)

Among you, the HN-community who writes, how much do you use AI in the process?

There is somewhat a spectrum from none, to grammarly-style cleanup, to whisprflow to 'look at my project, write me a HN-ready post'.

Personally, I've done a 180, where I started at light touchups to rough draft-to-polished back to almost none, to keep the writing my own (I do some writing at jakobs.dev).
