Researchers have developed a new method called CRC-Screen to improve the accuracy of screening DNA synthesis orders for potential hazards. The system addresses a critical flaw in current methods where screening fails when hazardous sequences belong to taxonomic families not present in the reference database. CRC-Screen combines multiple signals, including similarity to known toxins, an LLM-based assessment, and embedding similarity, to achieve a certified miss-rate below a specified threshold. AI
