In 1965, Margaret Dayhoff published the Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, which collated the 65 proteins whose amino acid sequences were then known.
Inspired by that Atlas, today we are releasing the Dayhoff Atlas of protein sequence data and protein language models.

An assessment of DNA language models concludes:
βΌοΈ They do not offer compelling gains over baseline models
Their performance is inconsistent and requires much more compute.

The only reason you love chocolate is because of FUNGUS.
Cacao seeds contain high amounts of polyphenols, making them intensely bitter & unpleasant. There are two natural fungi that do the heavy lifting in turning them into chocolate.
Let's do a quick tour of the process of chocolate making.

AFESM: a metagenomic guide through the protein structure universe! We clustered 821M structures (AFDB&ESMatlas) into 5.12M groups; revealing biome-specific groups, only 1 new fold even after AlphaFold2 re-prediction & many novel domain combos. π§΅

DEGU distills an ensemble of models into a single model, retaining the ensembleβs predictive performance while providing uncertainty estimates - ie both epistemic (or model) and aleatoric (or data) uncertainty.

Large protein language models can learn complex epistatic interactions, but how much does that help with predicting variant effects? In this NeurIPS article, we show that classical independent-sites phylogenetic models can outperform pLMs on this task.
