Protein language models are returning to their roots by incorporating homologs (Dayhoff, MSA Pairformer, Protriever, PoET), while some AlphaFold-inspired design models instead try avoid MSA addiction. The future may lie in adaptivity to available data; constrained or creative.

Excited to re-share work from @yoakiyama and @ZhidianZ on MSA pairformer.

Evolution is so "overfit", reusing existing gene fragments. We want models that understand real biology and also generalize beyond nature's explored space. More work is needed to understand the tension and better define what overfitting means for different settings in bio.

We loved the discussion online spurred by @btnaughton on sequence composition of generated proteins. How much are these models simply "cheating" vs properly "simulating" nature? I think this a rich area for future research and has analogous tensions in text and NLP. To

Use test set perplexity and FPD to choose 'the best' model? Filter by pLDDT and scPerplexity? Maybe not!. One important takeaway is the need for better in-silico metrics both through prospective experiments and retrospective analysis of available data.

New synthetic and metagenomic data boosted experimental success while popular metrics failed to predict it. Read Ava's thread on the really cool models, analysis, and data resources!.

increasing model and data scale increased the fraction of proteins expressed by E. coli, and the highest expression success rate came from augmenting w/ structure-based synthetic data. data quality + diversity bring real gains in real-world protein expression!

Evo 2 update: new dependency versions (torch, transformer engine, flash attn) and a docker option mean it should be easy to setup without needing to compile locally. Happy ATGC-ing!.
