Based on the linked paper, it reads like they took an existing open weight LLM, tacked on a scheme to parse and output genomics data, and finetuned it a bit. It’s the same approach chatgpt and other big-name models use for reading and producing images, but applied to a different data format.
… is it a virus generated by LLMs, or a virus designed by a model explicitly trained on viruses?
The worst damage LLMs do is when the term AI is automatically rejected by people who don’t understand it.
And that might be intentional.

Yeah see that is what I couldn’t figure out, but it lines up.
It’s not how I would generate anything other than text and certainly not any sort of medical treatment
