#AlphaFold DB now has TED integrated! It's a special one for me — my first project where I took ownership from start to finish, bringing together different teams to integrate domain annotations into AFDB. Huge learning experience, and I’m excited to finally see it live!

🚀#AlphaFold Database update
AlphaFold DB now integrates The Encyclopedia of Domains (TED) – a resource designed to systematically identify & classify structural domains within AlphaFold-predicted protein structures.

AlphaFold DB v6 (synced with UniProt 2025_03) is live! Here are the details:
Totals v4 → v6: 241,070,489 entries.
Since v4: 65,711,653 added, 39,324,993 removed, 276,539 changed (in sequence), 175,082,297 unchanged (metadata refresh, relabelled v6). Details 👇

The latest #AlphaFold DB update is out!
We synchronised with @uniprot release 2025_03, predicted protein isoforms across all species, and provide MSAs used to generate each prediction.
Proud of the team at the @PDBeurope for the hard work that went into this!
We’re renewing our collaboration with @GoogleDeepMind!
We'll keep developing the AlphaFold Database to support protein science worldwide 🎉
To mark the moment we’ve synchronised the database with UniProtKB release 2025_03

It's just the start! I’ll be sharing more on this new feature on AlphaFold DB, cool use-cases, and various other updates. Got an interesting domain example? Find a case where TED annotations shine (or break) in our new feature? Let me know! Follow for more updates! 🔜

The Encyclopedia of Domains (TED) is out now! This here is some incredible work done to structurally identify domain annotations across all ~214 million #AlphaFold models at AlphaFold DB. This was a collaborative work between @CATH_Gene3D and the Jones group (@psipred) at @ucl.

Excited to be at #FEBS2024 Congress in Milano! I presented our latest work on integrating #AlphaMissense into #AlphaFold DB. This allows users to interactively explore all missense variants in canonical human proteins. Let's have a chat to learn how it can help you! #FEBS2024

Spent a whole day learning #blender, and now I can make some pointlessly epic shots of proteins!
Massive kudos to the amazing YouTube tutorials by @bradyajohnston! Thanks so much for upgrading my #protein visualisation skills!
