Interesting, we should be able to have LLMs generate full genetic code or Inpaint into existing code that can be installed into a cell as DNA and have it divide out into any custom creature.

We could launch these custom bacteria in stasis to planets around the galaxy and seed life everywhere.

You should be able. Go for it.
