Leroy Hood holds forth on the future of genomics and phenomics. Just as we only now have incorporated epigenomics into human biology- there is likely still missing major data sets to allow new advances to come. i e. one proteins can be modified 400 different ways. @systemsbiology.bsky.social

@kidneyresearch.bsky.social Good morning.

Happy Tynwald Day, yessirs.

A hard lesson learnt this week. SVM fundamentally doesn't work on my type of data :(

MRes - From Sequence to Structure: Building an AI Model for G4 DNA Prediction MRes - From Sequence to Structure: Building an AI Model for G4 DNA Prediction

Here's an excellent MRes project using AI/Alphafold tools to model regulatory protein stuctures, with a great supervision team: Mateus Webba da Silva and Peter McPherson. Details at www.ulster.ac.uk/doctoralcoll...

Prof Ray Bond delivering his professorial lecture on the use of AI in clinical care pathways.

When using it in Colab it has access to the code context and works pretty well. Can explain errors and suggest code fixes and they work >50% of the time.

Did you try Claude or copilot? I hear good things about both as a coding assistants, but have only experimented with Gemini and Sonar.

An excellent 2025 Scottish Cardiovascular Forum meeting in Edinburgh with Ciara Costello and Gill Conlon, where Ciara presented her work on proteomic MACE prediction with @VMcGilligan #SCF2025

Universities need new ways to make their research pay Public and private funding are both vital for institutions such as the University of York as international student fees fall

YouTube video by Steven Watterson Perplexity Pro models for research: Claude 3.5 vs GPT 4o vs Sonar Huge vs Grok 2

I compared GPT 4o, Claude 3.5, Sonar Huge and Grok 2 as models for Perplexity Pro with select research questions. Perplexity's own Sonar Huge model won! For details, see youtu.be/npodIyz_Eag?...

I did a side by side comparison of Perplexity Pro and Google Deep Research (the new, experimental kid on the block).
