Just over a week ago the long-awaited AlphaFold2 (AF2) method paper and associated code finally came out, putting to rest questions that I and many others raised about public disclosure of AF2. Already, the code is being pushed in all sorts of interesting ways, and three days ago the companion paper and database were published, where … Continue reading →| Some Thoughts on a Mysterious Universe
But it may well be semi-supervised. For some time now I have thought that building a latent representation of protein sequence space is a really good idea, both because we have far more sequences than any form of labelled data, and because, once built, such a representation can inform a broad range of downstream tasks. … Continue reading →| Some Thoughts on a Mysterious Universe
