Genome sequences specify 1000s of the components of cells and organisms, usually using millions or billions of A,C,G and Ts. As computational biologists, ideally, we would use the entire genome sequence to make predictions about phenotype. Leveraging recent IT breakthroughs (thanks NVIDIA), Cameron figured out a way train deep learning …
The origin of life is one of the great mysteries of science. Of course, no one was there to observe it and there are many reasons that it’s tricky to figure out how you could get a living thing from non-living material. Inspired by recent research in biological condensates, Alan …
Check out our review paper on large language models for the genome.
This spring, we continued our tradition of “retreating” from our usual work in the lab. Thanks to Denise, we also have a lab art project for this year. Here we are at work. Despite predictions of rain, we had great weather and got out on the water. Of course, the …
