Today the predictions from AlphaMissense (@GoogleDeepMind) have been integrated into @ensembl, @uniprot & the AlphaFold database. An important step in making predictions from machine-learning tools accessible to a wide audience. Great work @emblebi !

The integration enables researchers to easily access AI-generated scores estimating how likely genetic variants are to be pathogenic

Ever wondered what chatGPT's brain looks like? My brother made a very cool 3D visualisation and interactive tutorial dissecting the inner workings of a (small) large language model. Check it out!.

Project #2: LLM Visualization. So I created a web-page to visualize a small LLM, of the sort that's behind ChatGPT. Rendered in 3D, it shows all the steps to run a single token inference. (link in bio)

Super excited to be at #ASHG23 with fellow DeepMinders @Avsecz and @jun90cheng. Curious about variant effect prediction models AlphaMissense and/or Enformer?Come chat! We can be spotted during poster sessions roughly around this coffee station.

Was a delight to present AlphaMissense at @CAGInews. Thanks very much to the organisers for an excellent conference! I learned a ton, and enjoyed all the lively discussions. May more of us 'catch CAGI' !.

Oh, and don't forget digging into the 60K different protein isoforms! Such a privilege to work with the brilliant @avsec, @juncheng, @joshbiology + others. Looking forward to seeing the creative ways others use this resource.

đź§µSo what could these predictions be used for? A few ideas: narrowing the search-space of potential disease-causing variants for diagnosing patients with rare disease. .

Ever wondered which of those pesky missense mutations were likely to be pathogenic and which ones benign? Enter AlphaMissense! It’s not just a fancy AI model - it has real implications for human genetics. Juicy details now in Science

Really cool example of adapting DNA sequencing technology to be made more mobile and much cheaper, so can be used in many more contexts

So true! I can highly recommend trying to explain your science to 10yr-olds - harder than it looks, and a great way to improve your communication of science to anyone
