Today CZI is announcing an unprecedented new scientific initiative to build the future of AI-powered biology. I am joining CZI to lead this initiative as Head of Science, and the EvolutionaryScale team is joining forces with Biohub. This is the first large scale scientific effort to combine frontier AI and frontier biology. I feel an incredible sense of optimism in this moment. There is a path to build predictive models of life that can fundamentally accelerate science, and unlock a new understanding of disease. biohub.org/blog/frontier-ai-…

It’s great to be back at MPI after almost five years, see many familiar faces again, and hearing great science progress in modeling of protein interactions! #MPI2023

Finally, after ~6 years of work, this is published! genomebiology.biomedcentral.… Thanks to all my co-authors and the participants of the challenge for seeing this through.
At the beginning of 2018 at an @ENCODE_NIH meeting, the idea for the ENCODE Imputation Challenge was born: an open contest to predict genome-wide genomics experiments given fixed train/test sets and encourage development of large-scale imputation methods. warning: drama 🧵 1/

Look forward to attending #bps2023 in just a few days! My students will present their works on predicting the effects of protein and noncoding variants. We hope to connect with more experimental researchers on #ProteinDesign!

It's frustrating reading comp bio articles these days because many keep falling into the same pitfalls. Hard to know if the method actually works, or whether they messed up the evaluation. Here are some issues I've seen recently (w/o names):

In two new papers we have found that the ESM2 language model generalizes beyond natural proteins, and enables programmable generation of complex and modular protein structures.

Great pleasure to introduce a new study on single sequence protein structure prediction rdcu.be/c1Ubu and share my views rdcu.be/c1UbO ! @SpringerNature @NatComputSci

Great perspective on the field of protein structure prediction since #AlphaFold 2 and the winning solutions at #CASP15.
My take on the last year of Protein structure prediction up and including #CASP15 comments are welcome. [2212.07702] Protein Structure Prediction until CASP15 arxiv.org/abs/2212.07702

It is interesting to see how the community of protein structure prediction has responded to AlphaFold2 (AF2) (2020-21) while participating in the next competition of #CASP15. The short answer is: "if you can't beat them, join them". But there is more.

3. Retrain/refine/customize the model. This was done by few groups for now and will be done by more in future. It needs clear rational / loss function, big and clean data, and BIG computing resources.

4. Embrace the model as part of the protocol. Most are using AF2 as a sampling tool now. One would think that scoring would be a coupled challenge. Yes and no.
