Deep learning has obviously transformed protein structure prediction, but can it do the same for the rest of biology? In a perspective by @sorger_peter and myself out this week in @naturemethods, we begin to try to answer this question: rdcu.be/cyMvO

A friend (who does not work in science) asked me today whether it is true that "protein folding has been solved". My short answer: The AlphaFold method produced very impressive results on CASP14. Protein folding is not a solved problem.

Happy to see this paper out. Interpreting what CNNs have learned on large compendium of ATAC-seq data was surprising: much of the learnt parameters point to validated biological mechanisms. Deep learning of immune cell differentiation pnas.org/content/early/2020/…

Wow. In MIT/Harvard case, DHS has fully agreed to rescind the July 6 ICE guidance and July 7 FAQ, and rescind all implementing guidance! So no TRO, because the government backed down completely.

Very excited to share SHARE-seq - single-cell ATAC RNA in the same cell - with you! Using the paired data we find that chromatin change can predict future gene expression states! Enabling opportunities to define cell trajectories and their regulation (1/2) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
