DeepMind stunned the biology world late last year when its AlphaFold2 AI model predicted the structure of proteins (a common and very difficult problem) so accurately that many declared the decades-old problem “solved.” Now researchers claim to have leapfrogged DeepMind the way DeepMind leapfrogged the rest of the world, with RoseTTAFold, a system that does […]

What a milestone in computational biology – neural networks accurately predicted the 3D shape of a protein from its amino acid sequence. The implications for precision medicine, pharmaceuticals, immunology, epigenetics and many more – how exciting!
