This is huge 10,000× faster 👀 "Researchers just developed an AI system called TITO that can simulate molecular dynamics up to 10,000-fold faster than conventional methods." "The model was trained across more than 12,500 organic molecules and 1,000 peptides, learning how molecular systems evolve over time." "Instead of calculating every femtosecond-scale step, the AI can effectively bridge molecular behavior from femtoseconds to nanoseconds while preserving the underlying physics." Thats why! Scientists will soon be able to explore drugs, materials, catalysts and biological systems dramatically faster than before. This could be one of the first real signs of AI accelerating scientific discovery itself.

Rare disease diagnoses can rely on exome sequencing, but answers may be hiding in noncoding regions. 🧬 PromoterAI is a new deep learning tool that identifies pathogenic promoter variants, which may account for up to 6% of rare disease genetic burden 🔍 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

It’s undeniable: the AI scientists are here. On May 19, Nature published three papers that gave the field one of those “something just changed forever” moments. Here’s what you need to know. 🧵 (1/6)

SV-GWAS is highly accessible now! Our new paper in @NatureGenet shows how HiFi long-read assemblies let us repurpose SNP-based GWAS data to impute structural variants (SVs) to interrogate their role in human complex traits and diseases. @WeiyangBai nature.com/articles/s41588-0…
