Retraining PLMs with newly deposited sequences doesn't guarantee better performance. Authors trained PLMs on each copy of UniRef100 from 2011 to 2024; the largest performance boost (2021->2022) coincided with the removal of unusually large number of invalid sequences from UniRef

Let me tell you a story. It'll end up at the current tech-bio and protein design scene. But the story starts about 25 years earlier. Did you know that, commercially, the human genome project precipitated the end and not the start of a genomics boom? 1/

1/5 Today, I’m sharing 7yrs of work. I believe we discovered a comprehensive mapping from protein structure to glycan structure, a genetic encoding for specific glycans, and a new paradigm in extracellular biology. https://t.co/eba5yTub5x #Glycotime

Editors rant: how many more GNN or message-passing architectures do we *really* need to score/predict protein-ligand interactions? A new one appears every day!!! 🤯#compchem

Working on ML for Drug Discovery I have been frustrated with the size and/or quality of publicly available datasets to train and benchmark models with, so when my co-founder and I started our company we swore we would open-source some data as quickly as possible.

https://t.co/eNCCULTHFj We wrote a review on recent developments in integrative modeling and frontiers in the field for a Springer Mol Bio Handbook. Comments are appreciated! Deep work by co-first authors @s_arvindekar @KartikMajila

The sad reality is that most people don't have what it takes to work in tech: Up at 4am. Post a pic of my new Eight Sleep in the group chat for sweet, sweet engagement. Hit the gym. Crush 8 jumping jacks. 35 minute cold plunge. Rip a My First Million episode at 2x speed.

WAIT!! WHAT?!!

Chandrayaan-3 Mission: 'India🇮🇳, I reached my destination and you too!' : Chandrayaan-3 Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the moon 🌖!. Congratulations, India🇮🇳! #Chandrayaan_3 #Ch3

In 2008 October, I was back from college for a weekend visit to my parents, when the Chandrayaan-1 mission happened. 15 years later life comes full circle: my parents are visiting me on their vacation when Chandrayaan-3 soft-lands an unmanned rover on the moon!

Excited to have nearly the entire integrative structural modeling community in one place: tremendous effort by @shruthiLab! Also, I am teaching a brief workshop on writing Python-based custom restraints within the Integrative Modeling Platform (IMP), please attend if interested.

I wonder what does it feel like to be a normie and work in a field where you don’t have to upskill every couple of hours.

Register by this week for conference on Macromolecular assemblies @IISERPune and workshop on integrative modeling with @salilab_ucsf

1/8 Excited to introduce CombFold - an algorithm for predicting large multi-protein complexes using the combinatorial and hierarchical assembly of #AlphaFold models. @DinaSchneidman https://t.co/sW5gMgf8Ky

Some perspective for scientists who may be asked to review computational methods: Computational methods are indeed innovated by taking existing mathematical and algorithmic atoms and putting them together in a novel way. Second, small changes in the steps can have a large

Really excited to present new work by @ritagonmar: we visualized the entire PubMed library, 21 million biomedical and life science papers, and learned a lot about -- THE LANDSCAPE OF BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH https://t.co/OhEx7iSjlU Joint work with @CellTypist and @benmschmidt. 1/n

We wrapped up the first LLM hackathon for applications in materials and chemistry last week. The results to me were astounding. We are at the point now where some tasks that took years can now be completed in days. Here is a list of the fantastic submissions!

I'm serious. STEM without the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities will produce more "innovative" tech bros who giddily reinvent rent, roommates, taxes, and now...roller skates. With complete, straight-faced, sincerity. This is a problem. And I have a list (So, thread 🧵)

It’s time to peel back the curtains of the struggles of a #NewPI trying to find her way. I was invited to interview for an award that was a great match for my research. Here is me cheesing before the interview… Little did I know how quickly would change... [long] 🧵
