Prioritizing Feasible and Impactful Actions to Enable Secure AI Development and Use in Biology
ABSTRACT As artificial intelligence continues to enhance biological innovation, the potential for misuse must be addressed to fully unlock the potential societal benefits. While significant work has been done to evaluate general‐purpose AI and specialized biological design tools (BDTs) for biothreat creation risks, actionable steps to mitigate the risk

This study develops a novel miRNA‐based framework for estimating the time since deposition of semen stains, combining small RNA sequencing with machine learning. Time‐dependent miRNA modules were identified using Mfuzz clustering and WGCNA, followed by a multi‐stage feature selection pipeline that reduced 261 candidate miRNAs to a minimal 7‐miRNA panel.
